A VM is a complete environment, not a single programm you integrate easily into your own environment and workflow.
If you want a well defined environment which goes beyond a default-installation, then yeah, a VM would be a good solution for *demonstrating* things. But this still involves more work then "one-click-installation". Meaning, it's an entriely different problem. The configured environment of a VM could allow folks to immediately > get a better idea lf what is capable.

In this case it would make sense to use a VM for demonstration. But considering the work involved in setting things up, having a premade VM does not reduce much of the work for the persons demonstrating their works.

It's mostly a overlay of pictures which point where you should 'click' to get this or that, or they lead you to some predefined scenario to teach the basics. And then there is also vim with it's widely loved "vimtutor". And lately there is a growing trend of live-coding. People doing their normal work, capturing and streaming that to a platform, while parallel people can comment and ask for things via chat. Maybe some Leonidas are interessted in staging some session from time to time. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
