Via OSNews is this article “Top 10 Things Wrong With Linux, Today”. I know that Jason can relate to #9, for instance:
No common editor which supports “soft wrapping.” By which I mean displaying things wordwrapped, even when it”s one long line. This means you can go back and edit the line and the rest of the paragraph will reformat itself automatically. Evolution’s message editor does this, but that doesn't help me for composing text files (like this one!). Others I’ve tried — Kate, GEdit, and even vi — only support “hard wrapping”, where it inserts a newline when you get to the end of the line. [...]
Is that really the case, though? No soft-wrappable text editors for Linux?
#5 makes a good point as well — one that I hadn’t given much thought to until now:
Cleaner redraws. This has long been a complaint of mine in almost every OS and desktop environment: slow or flickery window updates. I have only ever seen one OS do it right, and that's Mac OS X. This isn't a speed issue, really; it’s a how-you-update-the-screen issue. Mac OS X pops a window onto the screen all at once. Presumably it does any drawing that it needs to do on a back buffer and then blits it to the screen when it's all done, just like a video game. [...]
