Notepad2 or Notepad++ or E-TextEditor Just because there are two code editors that have every feature you could possibly imagine (and many many many more) doesn't mean you can't write another one (or three) and be successful.
So, next time a market looks full....
BTW: anyone remember that HN article about a guy who was interested in search, but thought he was too late because altavista had it covered? And then he iterates about 10 of the following successive leaders in search, up to Google, then concludes with: and of course now it really is too late.
- CWuestefeld 17y agoAlong the same lines, the article offers "It's over and 7zip won." Wasn't over once before, and PKZip won? And later it was over again, and WinZIP won?
- 10ren 17y agoI noticed that one, too. But I think "winning" would really be if MS bought you and incorporated you into the OS (which it has done with an awful lot of stuff). BTW: there was also one before, that PKZip was based on (actually infringing on its copyright, and ended up being very upsetting to the originator).
- nailer 17y agoYep, that was arc.
