Thanks for taking the time to share and ask. I am in a similar boat. I have at times used Leo extensively, enough to the point I have team contributor access on GitHub in spite of my novice programming skills. But, I've also dropped out, almost a year now. For the second time I've stepped out of the stream and back again. *((Hello Usual Suspects! Long time no talk)) * My falling out seems to have different cause than yours, on surface anyway. I don't understand the cause well, or at all, but it revolves about or happens in a milieu of confusion. I've never felt completely comfortable in Leo. There's so much I don't understand, or feel I don't understand, and I'm nervous about shooting myself in the foot. The daily user experience and key interaction is just different enough from prior tools, say Notepad++, that I'm a bit off balance all the time. For programming activities PyScripter is just swifter and smoother, for me. Partly it's the integrated interpreter; and running the code to line X and then interactive exploring the variables and values at run time is great. The ipython bridge kind of filled the same need, but fell apart for me. I look at the bones and architecture of Leo, see wonderful possibilities, listen to the words of Edward, Terry, Kent, Jacob... and I'm inspired and enthused. Then I pick up the golden chalice, and in my hands it turns dull and leaden. :-/ Sorry, not a very helpful response. I just wanted to let you know you're not alone in yearning. :) Matt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
