Peter: A few things for you to consider: * Just because you might not agree with some else's point of view does NOT justify the dismissive, snarky tone. While that might be the norm in other groups, in this community, we don't do that. It's not "clever", it's not "polite", nor is it appreciated. * You've only recently started using TiddlyWiki 5, so you might be spoiled by the rich eco-system of functionality it offers. However, a great deal of the functionality you see in TiddlyWiki 5 owes it origins to innovations first developed in TiddlyWiki Classic. It might help your understanding of TiddlyWiki 5 features if you were to learn where much of it came from. * There are several key features of TiddlyWiki Classic which are NOT possible (or not permitted) by TiddlyWiki 5. Among them: "slices" (ability to individually reference and transclude portions of tiddler content), and "inline javascript" (support for complex coding "on the fly"). * Since each TiddlyWiki file contains a complete copy of the core code, there are LOTS of existing TiddlyWiki Classic documents that continue to provide daily value to their users, and -- as has been pointed out -- there is still ongoing development (both maintenance and improvements) to the TiddlyWiki Classic core code. * At the risk of being boastful, I suggest you visit my TiddlyWiki Classic site: http://TiddlyTools.com, and view the "plugins" and "transclusions" tabs from the "Welcome" tiddler. You will see a very large list of features that can be added to any TiddlyWiki Classic document... and, while many of these add-ons are now incorporated directly into the TiddlyWiki 5 core code, there are still many that have not (yet) been migrated or re-implemented to work in TiddlyWiki 5. -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools.com: "Small Tools for Big Ideas!"
