What good would "[putting] their business efforts" towards other companies accomplish, other than cutting off their own air supply? With how much of search is dominated by Google, you have to deal with them if your job is SEO, sim

Adding a decent text editor would be nice... :D

Probably by Unicode 16 there will be. :p
