What do you get with char-by-char undo that you don't already have with the delete key?
I have lost intermediate edits with the chunk undo, and the char-by-char is always predictable to me, chunk undo isn't (although if I code it myself, it'll probably be more transparent to me at least ;) ). Also, I generally tend to only undo a few edits, not a chunk, you say I can use the delete key, but I undo many other actions than just typing letters -- hitting cmd-z is just undo what I just did (be it toggle the case of a letter, deleting a letter, changing indent etc.), with chunk-undo this only works half the time.
I suspect that chunk-based undo as default would make a far better first impression, given that it's the way everything else does it.
Based on the comments I've read, this seems to be a true assessment. But it'll have to wait some more, I have like 60 things to “change” before 1.1, and this isn't what I consider the most serious flaw ATM ;)
Kind regards Allan
