[TxMt] Re: Projects are gone in TM2?

[Reaves, Timothy]

Any code editor without project support just does not understand software
development.  Presumably you use Xcode.  Now, you may use TM for editing
your files, but, Xcode would be far less useful if it did not have the
concept of projects.

I do not want a 'favorites', as that's just silly in the context of editing
text.  I do not, in any way, 'prefer' or 'favor' one over another.  There
is simply the one I am working on at the moment.  And if I do not get back
to it for a year, I want the files associated with that project to still be
there.

And '.tm_properties' being far more flexible?  Really?  Becausr you're not
a real coder if you don't modify your own dot configuration file?  1980
called and wants their hidden files back.  Yes, some may prefer these
files, and for the most part, they still use emacs & vi.  I'm not knocking
either of these, as I'm a huge fan of vi.  But for anyone to say that
editing the dot files is more flexible then a well-thought out preferences
pane, ala Qt Designer or to a lesser extent Xcode, they are just deluding
themselves.  I'm interested in replacing all of my use of vim largely do to
the difficulty of quickly understanding what is going on and why, and the
enormous number of keyboard shortcuts one needs to remember to be
proficient with the editor.  Oh, and I see you referenced how many
shortcuts?  Huh,

I write code, and I want to concentrate on writing code.  Not fiddling with
the configuration, or 'favorites' of the editor.
