Can you elaborate on what issues? Merely downloading and installing seem
to work fine.
The main big one was that the option to use MRU order for Ctrl-Tab
file-switching doesn't work. Instead, it ends up being some kind of
semi-random order.
I know that doesn't sound like a big deal, but it turned out to be a
HUGE drain on both my mental focus and my productivity. (I habitually
rely *very* heavily on Ctrl-Tabbing between two main documents I'm
focusing on - or occasionally three. And the MRU behavior is very deeply
ingrained in my muscle memory. Technically, I could save-and-close all
other documents, but that also messes with my workflow and mental
processes.) I love the program so much that I tried to work through it
(and filed bug reports, etc), but ultimately it proved to be too much of
a problem.
Another, smaller, issue was that it doesn't start up nearly as fast
under wine (still WAY faster than most IDEs though.) Although that's
admittedly very minor, and not a deal-breaker. Although it's
near-instant startup was one of the things I loved about it back on windows.
I seem the remember there being one other quirk I ran into (maybe
related to find or replace?), but it's been awhile so I don't remember
exactly what that was.
