I use a mystifying number of these things.
Short notes: Drafts - great for capturing quick notes, incredible power in plugins.
Longer notes: Editorial - the built in scripting powers are like a tool shed.
Looong form: Scrivener - the full sync power with the Mac app means I can do all of the things.

That's my lot. I'd recommend any of them for pretty much anything, I've also tried Byword, 1Writer and Bear, disliked them all for varying reasons. Ulysses is just way way too expensive, there are tools that deliver all the 'power features' of it at reasonable costs.

You see, there's a reason I keep coming back around to 10C, and this post pretty much sims that reason up more succinctly than anything else. Thank you for all your hard work.

I can't see it lasting, tbh. For one thing, they are basing their system on essentially dead tech; web pings, salmon and activity stream. For another, the federated model, well, isn't. I joined up, and there is little or no social activity going on there, except, weirdly, by French speakers.

I never got into ubuntu, from the opposite end. Ubuntu was like the shiny obsessed magpie backed by a billionaire asshole with ? ? ?. Toxic community, big on bro' values. Debian was a madhouse, true, but it at least pretended to be sane.

oh no, don't get me wrong, for servers I'm Linux all the way down, although I'm far more of a deb-head than anything else. I just love the elegance of the system that comes out of such a random anarchic devbase.

reason I bailed on the whole project. And I was a desktop Linux user since Slackware '96…

the entire thing is an incredible clusterf**k. I don't see any sign that May and her cabinet have the remotest understanding of what they're embarking on; leaving Gib out of the famous letter is only a representation of how clueless they are…

hard to know which of the two you mean, streak ?
Fwiw, Marco, while a bit of a putz, usually at least has a basis for his criticisms. Gruber, otoh, probably bleeds apple, and has no compunction in setting his follower mob on those he deems unworthy. Plus, he's an arrogant ass.

incidentally, I love how stable macchiato is now. Profiles support is awesome too. Username completion is the only thing I find myself missing.

I've not used code academy, but I'm working my way through freecodecamp at the minute. All js based, which is something very new for me.
