Of course, traditional coding-environments are aiming to be non-intrusive. Tagbar and speedbar offer only a view on your data for the means of navigation. they are not meant at all to manipulate the data themself. Code-Manipulation is a problematic task, which can easily fail. Another thing is that a pure view is more robust for changes. A tool like Leo which enriches the structure with additional data can easily fail to fetch external changes to code, because it doesn't know on it's own what it should do with the data it has. A pure view on the other side just shows the data as they are, and dosn't inflict further problems. BTW Besides the tag- and-project-view, there are also task-views (guided by hints in the code like "#FIXME dosomething here"), linter-views (which show failures, warnings and potential problems which tools like pylint or pyflask have found) and bookmarks for faster navigation. So for a professional coder there is not much demand for the abilitys Leo offer there. The advantage is not big enough to put up with the disadvantages and invest so much time to learn leo's ropes and corners. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
