I guess the only thing I was trying to do was say, "go for it!" and "let us
see how your code compiles and works!"
I have absolutely no other reason to say anything about this than the fact
that I like Abiword and the way the Abisource people have been developing
it.
Obviously, it looks like you weren't looking for feedback from the general
populace of users. Maybe in the future you should mark your questions or
suggestions as for the "core" developers only, so you wouldn't face "inane"
comments like mine.
Again, I'm really sorry my post seemed to hit your sore spot. I didn't
mean that. I like the idea of lots of ideas. I don't agree with you that
there is some limited pool of effort that can be wasted. The wheel is
constantly being reinvented in real life and I don't exactly see how
programing, logic, or any other human activity is any different.
Obviously we disagree.
I know only hearsay about wxWindows and I am interested in learning more
about it. Obviously, you are pretty sure that it is near to being very,
very good. So I will have to take a look soon.
Sorry for hurting your feelings.
Sorry if this has just been a "waste" of electrons ;-).
