Not at all, but it was suggested that console apps were not able to do the same thing as tabbed apps, which isn't the case. I also didn't say you were wrong, I just don't want an option to be overlooked because of a personal bias. I have no argument against tabbed environments being more natural, because they are. There is a steep learning curve for many console apps, but they can be rewarding if used properly. > > So it's really more about personal taste than anything.

Then they aren't using it correctly. My screen sessions are labeled, and show me exactly what window I'm in, just as well as a tabbed window does. I don't have to remember anything any more than you do. Someone using a tool inefficiently does not mean that tool is inefficient. > It is especially amusing when they end up shutting down the wrong > server because they've gone to the wrong vt and haven't realised it. That's not an honor reserved for users of screen. I see the same thing from other folks using all manner of environments, including tabbed ones. -- David Rock da...@graniteweb.com _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
