I agree with Edward. This is the kind of thing that causes people to want to re-implement, start again to take advantage of what they have learned over the years. But the history of re-implementations contains a lot of sad failures. It's just too big a job, the new implementations have their own bugs, and by the time they get done, the original version has developed beyond that the new one has implemented. This kind of thinking - test-driven, with good separation of concerns, etc. - is good to apply to new development when it can be done and still fit into Leo's existing framework. That's modulo the difficulty of testing GUI-related code, of course. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
