Re: Apple hiring $MS programmers?

I think Apple hired some $MS programmers by mistake.

$MS programmers are known for making easy things difficult,
and hard things almost impossible.

Apple's policy of 'keeping things simple' seems to be
slipping lately, so they might be hiring $MS programmers.

C'mon Apple, stick to your original mandate of keeping things
simple, clear, logical. We don't need that convoluted $MS crap.

If you want to add features that are not intuitive, at least
show us where we can look to learn how to use those features.

You don't need new programmers to make text edit an odd program at
least. Anyone calling their program 'text' edit when it is unable to
save .txt files has a head start already. What you describe here sounds
like enhancements to the existing ridiculousness.

I thought of writing in to Apple's request and bug report page, but when
I came to the wording (please could you make your text edit program able
to save text files) it sounded so ludicrous I thought if it hadn't
occurred to them already, my request wouldn't help anyway.
