Subject says status. However, I find very dismaying the prospect that anything like the current front end will disappear, to be replaced by a browser interface.
The J6 front end is lean -- just a title bar and a menu bar. But, because I use my browser for browsing, it takes up lots of screen space with navigation toolbar, search toolbar, bookmarks toolbar, status bar, etc. Moreover, with the J6 front end, I have immediate access to the File, Edit, Run, Tools, Studio, etc., menus. At least as implemented so far, J701 seems to require But I do understand the reasons for wanting to shift to this new paradigm for the front end: eliminate (most) developer hassling with API for multiple platforms.
