I completely agree with Robert. I'm a teacher, and have developed
teaching tools. Some of my pupils own Apple Macs at home and I like to
give them compatible versions. At work, I'd like to switch to Linux. So,
for me portability is a great issue.

The main strength of BB is simplicity and extensibility. I don't want
Bells and Whistles, and prefer to be able to deeply understand my
development system. This leads to faster and more reliable developments,
while extensibility allows a great adaptability to particular problems.
It's so easy to get a new, original view.

Some new features may be added. In particular, I like the idea of
extending the documentation facility to constants, variables and module
abbreviations. I'll try to do it when I get some time.

Cheers.

Gérard
