Thanks, I saw that, it looks like it reimplements Cocoa, for desktop-like interfaces. Is it more flexible, useful for custom and more web-like ui's too?

Hi ErrantX, thanks, I hope it's not too verbose. It's actually pretty dense for how many points I cover. What ends up happening is that people repeatedly bring up the same strawmen, so I try to address the most relevant justifications and

Yea! I saw pg's essay posted after I wrote this, and I noticed that he makes the same kind of argument. He calls it a pyramid scheme, but a ponzi scheme is a closer metaphor.

Similarly for me. Also, I didn't think Colemak would actually let me type faster, but I did a speed test and scored 102wpm with 0 errors. I used to type 80. It may not directly be Colemak. I may just type more because Colemak is that much

Why would you do that? Just open your closet and throw out each thing unless you used it in the last week. Just throw it out now. Tomorrow is a euphemism for never. You can always buy or borrow if you need it later. http://www.jperla.co
