It is amazing how a single knee-jerk response to change can derail significant development effort.
Change happens constantly, the early edge of change seems technical and often confusing to people because it has not been refined and they are not comfortable with it yet. TiddlyWiki 5 is at that stage right now, it feels like more effort to use, while TWc feels like less effort. However, with refinement and development TW5 will be more capable and easier to use than TWc and built upon a much better structure, which will enable it to take advantage of modern browsers into the future. Whereas TWc will over time become less and less able to perform effectively, it will require more and more patching/development effort to keep it limping forward because the structure it is based upon will be out of date compared to the browser(s) you will view it in. My advice as a programmer would be to support the development of TW5 as much as possible, I feel it is aiming at the correct mix of technologies to ensure survival in the future. Jeremy is doing an excellent job from what I can see of the code and with support and encouragement will deliver a product which will supersede the achievements of its predecessor. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
