    Big selling point for me. I don’t have to worry about my data getting egressed from an accidental click.

    At this point if the spec is defined, export the Markdown to whatever format is required, and the application used to render it is without merit.

    People use applications to render State and Intent.

    Both of these are now done, for the moment, through many interfaces and UI/UX/AX.

    I open Word/Libre about three times a month to view a document. I do not edit it the original application or format except for a recent event of filling out a document via Word form by a non-native country company.

      Almost no one does this. It's just a small part of the tech industry that does.

      Everyone else uses office packages.

        Next year will be different. The tooling and ux/ui/ax is changing rapidly.

        I would expect to see AI only interactions usage double each quarter. I am finding soccer moms are using bots on a daily basis if they have the patience to learn and adapt to the tooling. Once the tooling adapts to them the adoption rate soars.

          I call bullshit on this.

          Most people won't pay for it.

    Nothing but praise for this decision. We need more orgs and projects to take this stance.
