On: Here's the basic problem: you're writing a text editor. Stop doing that. It's 2007.

Yeah. But what innovation do we have in a text editor that is only able to function in full-screen mode?

What is new?

Well, nothing may be new in this case, perhaps. But innovation happens very erratically and in spurts. One never knows what an artifact will be used for in the future, or what it will inspire to be created next.

Regardless, my main argument was against the author's overly sensationalistic and dangerous "stop writing text editors" point.
