Re: Article: "Why Don't We Have a General Purpose Tree Editor?"

Hehe, I immediately thought of Leo when I saw this article as well. However, as an incompetent user of the software I can't offer any comment on it. Looking forward to the use cases more senior community members can imagine. On Tue, Feb 7, 2017 at 6:40 PM Sr U wrote: > I am

Article: "Why Don't We Have a General Purpose Tree Editor?"

I am not certain how pertinent this is to the Leo community, and perhaps it was already linked and discussed here? In any case it recently surged on reddit and -- of course -- it caught my eye. link with comments from reddit:
