Most of the recent threads zoom over my head, but here is an entry point for opinion.
Leo is great at managing complexity, some would consider it's strength a weakness. Per a piece I read, the author didn't use an IDE because it made it too easy to write complex code. A rule of thumb says it's x number of times harder to debug than to write (10 times?) so, if you are writing code too near your limit of comprehension, you won't be able to debug it. A simple editor demands that files and elements within a file be relatively small and simple: easier to understand and debug. I don't altogether buy this, not all complexity is optional, and Leo provide shoulders to stand on to better understand the landscape, therefore is indispensable. I do however think Leo tends to be complicit in creating 'proprietary' source code files, which are too big and complex to be handled effectively outside of Leo. DANGER! As convenient as I find the parsed view of a .py file Leo offers, a unified view provides a view of the forest not possible by examining trees: hence no sentinels, <alt-x> vim-edit-file. As I recall we talked about toggling between <chunked> and <slurped> ... 🤗 Thanks, Kent On Wed, Mar 22, 2017 at 9:19 AM, lewis <[email protected]> wrote: > I imagine that this feature you describe would be most intuitive as a > toggle.
