[IxDA Discuss] a split feature usable ?

BBEdit for the Macintosh still has a split screen feature similar to
the one Michael describes for Homesite. I'm always struck by how the
top pane (that emerges after the split) has its content centered in
precisely the right spot. It just works. BBEdit also has a nice
sychronized scrolling feature for comparing two independent text
documents.

I think BBEdit prides efficiency over usability. It's powerful but
it took me several years to discover the split screen feature, and I
gave up on the entire program outright when I first encountered it.
We've since reconciled.
