You see, you started implementing advanced features, right from the beginning, while we didn't even finished the basic set of features, like simple text input/editing. The only 'opposite' to your direction was decision to stop thinking upfront how much steroids we can put into model & editor and concentrate on completing a bare bone feature set, so that we can replace morphic text editor with it. Adding steroids can wait :) > At the end I forked my refactored version of TxText into separate project > Twisty.
