Why the false dichotomy? A black and white editor can be just as usable as a colorful, syntax-highlighted one. Furthermore, it's an extremely subjective judgement.
- ynniv 17y agoWhere is the dichotomy you speak of? I stated that beauty is largely irrelevant when compared to usability/functionality in a utility such a text editor. Do we expect people to be excited by a photograph of a floral print, paper machete mockup of a sledge hammer or table saw? I'm not saying that a nail gun cannot be both pretty and functional (your accusation), only that a photo of a decorated nail gun is not interesting to someone trying to evaluate it because the photo does not convey any useful information.
