Hi,


ASK> So far, it is you alone who wants MicroEd to behave differently.

Don't give me that.

How many people on this list wanted the UI updates when the
developement started for v3.5.x? Almost noone, all complained about
unfixed bugs that should have been adressed before.

Still, RIT had the opinion that a new UI would be more valuable to the
average user than working on "silent code". I, too, don't agree with
them, but they ought to know why they were doing it in this order.

And now you want to tell me that because most of the experts
participating in this list have adjusted to the TB-way it was "ok" to
the standard user?

I heavily disagree. Do you have any idea how many individuals whose
computer system I service have enquired about this issue, to me alone?
And can you imagine how satisfied they are when I have to tell them
that no, it isn't a bug, they are just to stupid to use a feature
correctly?

The user decides what's a bug and what's a feature. What exactly the
TB-way is might be a matter of debate, but a feature it for sure is
not.


An afterthought: vi is a great editor. I'm sure we can agree on that,
can't we? But tell me: How many guys are using this great editor, even
compared to notepad?

Does RIT want all the vi-users to root for TheBat, or do they want to
target all those using notepad? How often have we heard that while we
on this list may not approve some developement decision, it is
expected that the broad mass of average users will?

And now, suddenly, this is not valid any more and the marketing target
is the small expert group that applauds this TB-specialty? Come on.


ASK> You consider it a bug [...]

Not any more. You explained to me that it rather is a design flaw.
Which of course is worse, because a bug tends to be fixable.


ASK> Now, I for one refuse to have something "fixed" [...]

Sometimes I wonder. Did you even read that what I was suggesting a
user config option to switch to normal behaviour, not necessarily a
removal of the TB-way?
