I develop in BlackBox because I never found anything equivalent to it:
- It's small. I don't say I know everything in it, but I can master
any part of it when needed.
- It's free. I can read the source. It's much more than a good
documentation. And, as a teacher, I can tell my pupils to get it and
work with it.
- It's powerful. I never found one project impossible to do with it.
- It's simple. All is in modules, that you can read and search
efficiently.
- It's non-modal. Although a little disturbing at first sight, this
feature gives a great freedom to the user, and is simpler for the developer.
- It's text-centred. Beautiful documents. Powerful embedded views.
Simple and general communication way between applications.
My only regret is that this free environment is embedded in a
proprietary OS. I'd like it to be ported to, e.g., Linux.
Cheers.
