Yeah. I find his tone pretty snotty at times, but I have to say I agree with most of his underlying points. I know people who really like TextMate and own it and use it all the time who find the Find/Replace dialog a bit underpowered compared to BBEdit's; or who, to paraphrase Darth Vader, find its lack of AppleScript support disturbing. I think that it's important when one is a fan of something (as we all are of TextMate) not to adopt a knee-jerk, dismissive attitude toward criticism -- even when the criticism is gracelessly phrased. pb -- Paul Bissex http://e-scribe.com/news/ Northampton MA USA 01061-0847 ______________________________________________________________________ For new threads USE THIS: textmate@lists.macromates.com (threading gets destroyed and the universe will collapse if you don't) http://lists.macromates.com/mailman/listinfo/textmate
