Java, PHP, Javascript, and C++ are all in the top 5 disliked. These are my most useful/effective languages. Less php lately, and I use python as often as the rest but the point still stands, these are very useful if imperfect languages. The

After using dropbox for quite a while I finally had a problem, 120 of my files were truncated to 0 bytes. I was able to restore the important files immediately using their previous versions features and their support team fixed the rest for

I don't see significant enough improvements to make this a 2.0 release.

Here's a good question, given the probability of a bit on an ssd being flipped by cosmic radiation, how much redundancy would allow recreating the data using parity bits or something along those lines?

SciTE seems really solid but it's missing some features I like in other editors.

Does it work seamlessly through wine? I've been missing textmate snippets lately but it's frustrating to work around little problems?

I've noticed that gedit is a little sluggish to start and somewhat buggy. All that same it's a great editor.

I'm impressed be the preview. I can't wait for all of the simple things in FF and Webkit to be standard! Their SVG demo is amazingly fast. Their approach is really rather smart, it does make sense to focus more on the speed of drawing visua
