Two very separate issues. 1. I agree that it would be better to have Leo install more simply, with a better one-click installer. However, I don't know how to do that. It's as simple as that. Leo's new daily build page actually goes a long way towards making the latest builds available to users. This is a big step forward, imo. 2. I am not aware of any "painful" bugs that would afflict newbies "right out of the box". Excepting on MacOS, which is not truly supported, and perhaps never will be. Yes, Leo does have its share of bugs, but these should not prevent newcomers from forming a reasonable impression of Leo. > Personally, although I have been using Leo for years, I would switch away in > a heartbeat if there were another project that had the same essential > feature of representing text files as outlines but which had an > implementation that was more stable, easier to install, and easier to > configure. Leo is the only project that is likely ever to have Leo's features. And Leo *is* stable, 99% of the time or more. > [Leo] needs to place a much greater emphasis on improving and polishing > basic usability issues than it has so far seemed inclined to do. I take usability issues seriously because I use Leo every day. There are many usability-related bugs on the list, and I'll get to them asap. If you have specific complaints, please file bug reports.
