OOo is slow, clunky and bloated.So is MSO.-f0dder (February 22, 2010, 12:55 AM)
As for the ribbon, have you actually tried using it, or are you just jumping onto the anti-anything-new bandwagon?"Know your enemy". Tried it for about 10 minutes, laughed and closed it. Seriously, this might be neat for rather inexperienced users; for me, it is not. I can see the benefits because the bars have names now, but I also see that it eats productivity by shrinking your screen; not to mention that it does not even fit into any OS's GUI.-f0dder (February 22, 2010, 12:55 AM)
it hasn't really been widely publicizedIIRC there was some advertisement for Ubiquity a while ago. But I might be wrong as well.-pyrohacker (February 15, 2010, 10:41 PM)
Google is in for the privacy breach this thing caused?Google? No privacy? Oh, Capt. Obvious was here.-Edvard (February 14, 2010, 06:32 AM)
another option is Mmm free. http://hace-software.com/mmm.shtmlMMM+ is fine, automatically keep the context menu bloat-free... is there a free application which can do that (and is, optionally, still developed)?-lanux128 (October 12, 2009, 10:21 PM)

But I guess your remark was meant to target Microsoft and the differences Vista and Win7 brought? Which is pretty off-topic, since we're discussing Editors, and the post you (part-)quoted was about standardized keybindings.Hm, it was about the "user interface" actually, which is not restricted to the keybindings. So I was, maybe, wrong.
one very good thing that has resulted is a standardized user interfaceWhich they effectively broke up with now.-widgewunner (February 13, 2010, 08:54 PM)
If I could get Emacs to look and feel like a Windows editor, this might be a viable solution.There are a few approaches to make Emacs feel rather native on Windows, like ErgoEmacs:-widgewunner (February 13, 2010, 08:54 PM)
jumping/selecting/deleting at word boundaries can be done by any normal Windows editorYes, word by word. Not so fine.-f0dder (February 12, 2010, 10:37 PM)
When I need "powerful navigation", VIM tends not to be good enough anyway - Visual Studio class browser and "find all references" (et cetera) is so much more productive.VS? And two lines later you state something about "superfast"?-f0dder (February 12, 2010, 10:37 PM)
And what if 4 people call you at the same time?Another thing the iPad can never handle.-CoderOmega (February 12, 2010, 06:29 PM)
the choices seem to boil down to: PSPad and Notepad++. But neither has the powerful regex support I have grown used to with EPP.Tried GVim? The "best text editor" thingy on the website was obviously written by someone who did not spend more than 5 minutes with any of the tested applications. (Or, at least, was not be willing to RTFM.)-widgewunner (February 11, 2010, 08:14 PM)
