Especially if you simply branch off from Quanta, or duplicate the features on a re-write. Unless of course the management and/or programmers are really weak. Otherwise I fully agree. The main things I like (in no particular order) is the color coding, completion of brackets, two click uploading to website, and the accessable documentation. I also like the interface and how easy it is to have many projects. Though I use Kate and Kedit a lot for smaller jobs. With KDE supporting ssh (fish://) on file open's I can pick up files anywhere under any user. That makes it a cinch to do all the work from one computer regardless of where you are. -- Bobby _______________________________________________ Quanta mailing list Quanta@mail.kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/quanta
