I'm approaching this from a Windows user's point of view: install Leo, open the quickstart file, fiddle around a bit and than accidentally right-click on the Open with notepad menu items. Editing a node in notepad shows up OK (multiple lines), editing the whole tree is just one line. That does not look good, appears illogical, and does not make up for a good introduction to Leo for a newbie. >From a developer's point of view it's of course all quite easy to understand, but a Leo-beginner has already enough of a learning curve to go through without this kind of distractions. PS: I'm curious why you qualify my saying that 'two different editors are recommended' as an example of false logic. Which False-Logic- Rule :-) did you apply?
