« on September 18th, 2013, 04:41 PM »Well, Notepad2 NOT having tabs, is precisely the reason why I'm using it for all my PHP/JS editing... ;)
Switching between open documents: Ctrl+X B
While we're at it: Why does Wedge sometimes send me French, sometimes English notification mails?

Notepad2 doesn't have tabs, which was the reason I never actually used it either... ;)

Hmm, haven't used N++ for a while. No "Replace All" button? Sorry then.

« on September 14th, 2013, 05:18 PM »Notepad++ may be popular (and I use it for many files), but I've never liked its search tool, it requires too many clicks anyway.
Go tell that to the web design community. Most of them are very techy, and still consider WP as a proper CMS tool, so... I dunno. I guess it's just a matter of what you think a CMS is, eh..?
Compared to full-featured CMSs like Typo3, WordPress is, uhm, a bad joke? Sure, it works as a "news website" or website for a small project (especially with the bbPress plug-in), but I'm sure that most of those who think of WordPress as a CMS have never actually used a CMS.
I'm the ayatollah of SMF coding guidelines.

Aw nice, so now (again), at least dev stuff is something I can contribute to:Quote from Nao on September 13th, 2013, 10:48 PM Graphical S&R tools - even grepWin - are a pain to use IMO as they rarely do more than applying sed commands to a certain subset of files. Wedge could have been finished if you had used the command line instead. (Well, OK, probably not...)
Most text editors have a good (and some have a mediocre) built-in S&R by now. I'm not sure if grepWin counts as an insider tool anymore.Quote from Nao on September 13th, 2013, 10:48 PM The "obscure settings" are documented well; at least you could find them if you want to. :)Quote from Nao on September 13th, 2013, 10:48 PM They don't seem to do it too successfully either. SMF's market share decreases AFAICS.Quote from Nao on September 13th, 2013, 10:48 PM The public perception is wrong. WordPress brings basic CMS features indeed, but it still focuses on simplifying setting up a blog. The public perception is driven by marketing people who never touched a single line of code, that's why the public perception is a perception of stupidity.Quote from Nao on September 13th, 2013, 10:48 PM I'm not sure if using a fork as the base would work anyway, given that it's mostly unreviewed code (which might not fit SMF's coding standards) and I'm not convinced that SMF heads into a modern direction at all.

Because not everyone knows about grepWin or other mass s&r tools, not everyone wants to deal with these..?Quote You and I both did search and replace across a hundred files at a time. What's the difference between that and doing it on a smaller scale?
Most text editors have a good (and some have a mediocre) built-in S&R by now. I'm not sure if grepWin counts as an insider tool anymore.
because of this or that obscure setting in PHP or MySQL that makes the whole thing 12% slower than if I'd done it this way.
Haven't heard about that.Quote It's a funny old world... I discovered that SMF and phpBB are working together of sorts these days in an attempt to try to bolster the forum market, amongst other things.
If you say so.Quote No, WordPress is no longer a blog platform in the public perception. It's long been understood that it's a CMS, even if it isn't a very good one at that.
Well, I did talk with Bryan (who recently resigned) about using Wedge as a basis for SMF 3.0, but apparently the idea is a long way from making any sense, especially considering that it comes with a recommendation that SMF can only survive if the dev lead is also the project lead, so... Not realistic enough, I guess.

I'm not entirely sure if I should feel happy about this. Probably less, though.

« on September 6th, 2013, 04:33 AM »1. Your comment in Thoughts is what I'm talking about!
3. Arantor has NO obligation to continue here, if he chooses not to.
4. Who are you to even say what HE should do????
I did not tell him what to do. I just advised him what I would do if I was he. I told you I know such situations. Now calm down.

I, as a user, am pretty new here and have no fcking clue what's going on behind the scenes, but I, as an open-source dev, pretty much know what it means if team members have a different vision of a software's (near or not-so-near) future. Don't get me wrong about my "thought" you referenced to. Still, a dialog like yours is probably nothing that should be led in public IMNSHO.
