user profiles,
Why do you need that? All the information you need is embedded
right into the messages themselves (its just emails after all,
that yes you can download!).
View post history, edit posts (don't know how many times I
misclick something and a half completed post gets posted which
just makes it difficult to read and follow), be able to login I
use a different made-up email on every device I post from cause I
can't remember the last made-up email I used.
formatting of messages (we are programmers - we need format),
My install of Thunderbird has markdown extensions, so I have
formatting.
Should need an extension for this. Hell even reddit supports code
formatting and that's not even a programming centric site.
when reply you don't need to quote...
Plenty of forum users are required to quote. You lose track of
what you're replying to otherwise because they are not a tree,
its a list of replies only (which is very very bad and which
N.G. does a lot better).
If you just want to make a comment on a topic without replying to
any specific person
It's a strange question, really. As though no one was on the
normal forums and do not know how they are convenient.
I have used both. N.G. are more convenient once you get use to
them as a technically inclined person. Especially with DFeed,
most have horrible interfaces.
Pointing to DFeed as a solution sort of illustrates the issue.
Almost ironic considering how you use DFeed through a web
browser, but you just host the server on your own machine.
