Nothing in your reply addresses my points, so I'm not sure what to answer. Yes, I tried GitX, and I'm not looking for (or using) Git GUI tools. This doesn't make GitHub for Mac less visually cluttered.
I'm mostly discussing GUI trends (as a Mac developer who cares about this stuff), using GitHub as an example (which, as you say, gets job done great, but I say that it can be improved).
- pointlessjon 15y agoYou argue that spacing produces clutter, but I completely disagree. Clutter is shoving tons of information together without spacing.
- dchest 15y agoYou argue that spacing produces clutter "You argue"? Clutter means (let me open the dictionary) "a collection of things lying about in an untidy mass". I never said only spacing produces clutter. Either I'm not explaining myself clearly or you read something that was not in my comment (this is called a strawman, right?)
- pointlessjon 15y agoI never said you are completely, objectively wrong. I just disagreed with a point.. On that note, I see nothing untidy. No hostility meant by "you argue". You provided a critique, an argument. I'd open the dictionary... ;)
- dchest 15y agoYou disagreed with the point which I never made ("spacing produces clutter"), putting words into my mouth ("you argue").
- bonch 15y agoYou mentioned visual clutter, and then your first bullet point was about too much spacing. Clutter--according to the OS X dictionary you cited earlier--refers to a jumble or tangle of items, implying that they are close together. That's the discrepancy he was referring to. His posts were completely non-hostile, so aren't you overreacting?
- bonch 15y agoYou come off as far more angry than is warranted for this conversation.
- bradleyland 15y agoI didn't mean my reply to be a point by point rebuttal. Your description seemed to match GitX pretty well, so I figured I'd mention it. The rest of my reply was pointing out how I perceived this to be different than GitX, which was tangential to the point, but I didn't really think a separate reply was required. Sorry for the confusion.
- dchest 15y agoThanks. Yes, me not mentioning that, apart from my GUI nitpicking, the GitHub app seem to be great, may have caused the confusion.
