I think the use case would be limited to a handful of users (slight hyperbole).

The average user is content enough with using plain PowerPoint and won’t bother with Markdown. People using Markdown are more on the “you’re doing it wrong, put the basics on the slide” side.

The people that make nice backgrounds for their talk, sometimes with a word or two, won’t get there with a text based tool either.

People that use LaTeX, markdown or some other text to slides tool are few and far between.

I’ve noticed that too when the scroll back buffer is particularly long. iTerm seems to then reflow from the beginning, which can take a while.

I keep using a lot of fresh tabs all the time and iTerm resizes instantly via Rectangle for me.

Ghostty was a bit more sluggish in resizing on an Intel Mac than iTerm in the current latest versions.

I buy flight and other tickets on the phone all the time. Autofill for CC details, quick access to PayPal and other things are all there. One swipe away.

Transport and booking apps (Airbnb, etc) are all pretty decent and similar to the speed on a laptop. But I can do that while walking the dog, while on the bus, and many other situations where I’m not at a proper computer.

Usually they don’t beep on lane changes when you use the indicators before switching.

The lights in the side mirrors are also not removing the obligation to check your blind spot.

Both help, but don’t take away your responsibility as driver.

And SWT is built on calling system native components. Of course the “text editor” ends up being one large custom component that has nothing to gain from being in a “native” View.

All of that said, SWT and Eclipse do know that they are running on MacOS. It would be possible to mimic the same behavior, but that’s hard to do because there are so many minute details per platform.

With SO you also have no guarantee that the person has the license to put that snippet. Even that could have been copied from somewhere else. A customer was scanning for and banning SO, if that was the only determined source.

This is what HAProxy does. At least the reading then dropping privileges. The admin writes the config themselves (or uses their own tool).
