    God forbid an article presents all the evidence from all parties and asks you to reach a conclusion by yourself... Sorry for the snark. But I genuinely think the way they did this …

    Why put it above the _keyboard_, though? what you described sounds just like the macOS menu bar, but perhaps a bit more customizable. Why not just do that (make the menu bar more c…

    That was a sensible chuckle indeed... but then it also made me realize that grabbing things IRL _moves_ them, not _resizes_ them. Nothing IRL really resizes. So while it makes a lo…

    Very much agree. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. Not saying GP's opinion was pure nostalgia, but a lot of people certainly selectively remember only the good parts as they complain …

    Curious why you liked it so much. Removing the fn keys was a big no-no, yes, but also it was just located in a place I'm never going to look at. So why do you think it would've bee…

    FWIW, this is the least effective way to disagree with someone on the internet. Everyone knows it, even yourself. (snark aside -- either say _why_ you disagree, or just don't engag…

    thanks for the update. One small note: for the d20 test, NB Pro had duplications of 13 and 17 too, not just 19.

    thanks, I love your website. Are you planning to do NB Pro for the text-to-image benchmark too?

    I love the new UI. Reduces a lot of visual clutter and lets me focus on the code. I don't understand the problem with telling where a tab ends and the next begins; I don't click on…
