This comment is evidence of poor reference citing capabilities on the part of the original commenter, which is why such comments are ubiquitous in Hacker News threads.
- mooism2 13y agoNot every comment on HN is intended to eventually make it unscathed onto Wikipedia. I intended to spark discussion around the question “Why do so many people want applications to provide tabbed windows?”. I can see that people might have misinterpreted my comment as attacking the OC for wanting tabs (wanting tabs is a rational response to not having faith in the OS's window management capabilities) or as an attack on MS-Windows (I used PC as opposed to tablets/phones, which use non-windowed guis; so to include Macs/Gnome/KDE/etc; perhaps there is an obscure windowing environment that allows me to group and manage tens of windows without the aid of application-level tabs, but I am not aware of it). Never mind. (No references: original research.)
