> Not totally sure who or what you're addressing. There's no patch here,
and I don't think the debate about keeping the editors is anything beyond
academic. They're staying. :)
I wasn't claiming there was one, just clarifying that despite your
comments, it didn't mean no-one should bother even submitting a patch
(because that's what it sounded like).
> If we make them too fancy/IDE-ish
Certainly not advocating building a full IDE here either. We're just
talking about making the file tree (that we already provide) actually work
the way it was intended to. If you think providing a way to actually
select files to edit is too much of an "IDE feature", then we have a case
for removing it entirely. We're not in the habit of adding half-working
features just because we sort of think it should be there, but we've
intentionally made it difficult (and in some situations here, impossible)
to use in order to discourage users from using it.
I completely understand your concerns here, but we're not talking about
optional new features like "jump to file", "find in files", syntax
highlighting, line numbers, or anything like that. This is absolutely
required functionality for selecting which file to edit. It doesn't get
more basic than that.
