[Beaver-devel] Fw: Re: some software and fluxbox questions

[Leslie Polzer]

Hello Michael, hello list,

please take a look at the forwarded mail.
I think he/she has got a point - we should do something
about it.
Perhaps the most important points are that Beaver keeps
its dependencies at a minimum, is centered at X Window
(unlike gvim which is just some extension), is intuitive
(to this point I still haven't figured out Vim's advanced
features [without GUI]!) and not resource-intensive.

Further suggestions (and phrasings) here...


Best regards,

Leslie

Well, you made me interested, and I checked out the Beaver homepage. Guy,
you really need a mission statement or features page or thing like that! I
couldn't figure out any advantage of this editor, based on the info on the
Beaver page. Yep, I see it looks fancy, but you don't tell the visitor why
souldn't s/he stick at Vim, eg. Even the changelog -- a substitute for a
features page at some extent -- is not there to view directly, it's just in
the tarball. I won't download a tarball just to figure out what this thing I
downloaded is.
