Jon,
You're not coming off as annoying... just very set in your ways.
Indenting style is a personal preference and Rev indents the way I've
seen all xTalks indent and the way I like to do it... a holdover from
very old debugging habits using a ruler on printouts to check for
proper looping.... sad isn't it.... . It would be an interesting
feature to be able to choose the style of indenting (and to toggle
between them) but that's a bit beyond the current discussion.
I understand that not being able to use the same keyboard approach,
etc. that you are used to is a pain but I think calling the editor
"buggy", "bizarre", etc. because it is different than you are used to
is a bit unfair.
One of the things to remember ( and others will have to help me with
details here) is that Rev is relatively young and is coming from a
community well versed in xTalk and the quirks of previous versions.
So your experience of
having used decent tools for years and years
is potentially skewed when compared to Rev's status.... if only
because of the evolution of your other tools.... Perhaps patience,
learning a few new "habits" and doing just what you are doing...
making suggestions and recommendations.. will help ease the
frustration and help you see that "we" don't necessarily have a
parochial attitude about these problem areas. Simply saying "well,
we don't mind it, so you shouldn't mind" seems beside the point.
I think what "we" are trying to do is explain what Rev is doing (it
isn't necessarily a bug) and offer assistance as possible (like the
"tab" thing) so you can get past the annoyance aspects of the editor.
Jim
