My MUA dropped the last few lines of the post, it looks like. The
last paragraph should read (hope this one gets through...):
Your posts are full of assumptions about what should be easy,
what's obvious, what's desirable, how things are implemented,
etc. You would be much closer to solving your problems if you
would throw all that away, and say "OK, I'm a beginner." Of
course what you need has to be central, but maybe you can get what
you _really_ want from Coda if you don't assume that some things
that you don't actually need have to come with it. Making
assumptions about implementations is bad practice, of course.
