[TxMt] Re: another command question

One man's hack, another man's feature... :)

I don't get what all the fuss is about in that article. I see their  
point, and I believe it's completely legit, but how is that different  
than running, let's say, system daemons like apache or an ftp server?  
As long as you trust the source, I don't see the problem... It's not  
like you have to enable something that will allow third parties to  
install Input Managers automatically, you have to do it yourself...  
It just boils down to whether or not I'd be willing to run a certain  
program on my machine that performs system wide changes, and the  
answer is only if I trusted the source..

I guess this is a whole different can-of-worms... For example for all  
my preaching, I have uninstalled Greasemonkey from my Firefox  
installation... Once third-party extensions become so easy to make/ 
install, then one can get carried away. But it doesn't change the  
fact that I have a total of 6 input managers installed, all of which  
provide features I find invaluable... Chax, iGlasses, 2 growl plugins  
(safari and iPhoto), SIMBL (for SafariStand - which I'm considering  
for removal just because it affects so much more than what  
SafariStand requires), and edit in textmate... Granted, I would not  
install any of these on a server machine, but then again I wouldn't  
be coding on a server machine either :) (well, not much anyway)...
