I use both code generation, and backward automated modeling from code, which is possible only on EA to my knowledge. Overall usability was worse, maybe because of old Java SWT interface (last time I used VP in 2011)

I used it couple of times, my wife's laptop came with pre-installed WPS. I definitely liked the product more than Libre Office, it is fast, could fit most of average user needs and compatible with MS Office. My needs are far from avera

Probably we use different Windows. Cygwin installation is simple and gives you grep, sed, ssh, any Unix utility. Windows 10 comes with complete Linux Subsystem.

I got your point, but as a developer working on User Privacy products, I consider "software as a service" model personally unacceptable. I do not force anyone into my philosophy, but I will try to keep my offline software function

That's all true, modern Linux distros are great - but Linux does not have software people got used to use on Windows. And this is the main reason why Linux share on desktop is 1%, not because Linux is not preinstalled. Provided that, d

"Most people use Windows on the desktop because it's the default" That's just a stereotype, and that's not true. I keep using Windows (hardened and almost isolated Parallels instance of Windows 7), because Linux has

There's no vacuum in "power projection". Since US gives up control of Middle East, China and Russia would be there soon. Maybe for good, this is how USSR ceased to exist.

In early 2000th I used to admin quite diverse network, including rare and exotic *nix systems, early Sun machines and HP-UX. One thing I was sure about - every of them had 'vi' after installation.

Bulgaria is a country where Cyrillic alphabet came from. Ukraine already experienced Russian aggression, including sick reasoning like "it's our sphere of influence, because we don't let our Slav brothers leave it"

Windows 7 is objectively the best operating system MS ever done, the most stable, secure and having the most comfortable user experience. Highly promoted Windows 10 leaves rotten smell for every technically educated user. First thing you ha

All Russian propaganda based on hatred and de-humanazing Americans. Video of Russian mercenaries attacking US Army vehicle has been met with nation-wide jubilation. That's Goebbels-style with 21century technologies. US appeared to be u
