Thanks guys, very sweet. Even if I don't think Thomas intended any
offence.
He was completely right about asking for more detailed reasons than
just flaming about Firefox :).
And he was also right about my quoting style, I could have done this
better.
Regarding the double mail he received (Thomas and I talked about that
shortly on IRC afterwards), I'm not yet sure. If only he got my mail
twice, it was probably a problem between uvena's mail server and his
one, if anyone else got that mail twice, please make some noise.

To get slightly back to the topic:
the restore tab feature(and some of the extensions I and others
mentioned) probably can be implemented as a plugin, missing bits in the
plugin API can be added as necessary. No problem at all.

And in general, I really hate rejecting features but I also hate to get
away from the initial goal: being lightweight. We are already much
more away from this than I'd like though this doesn't mean we won't add
more features in the future, just to not add *anything*.


>and Enrico, thanks!

Don't forget Nick and Frank, who are also developing Geany and doing a
great job too. It's not me alone!
And of course, don't forget all the contributors, Thomas is one of them.

Hahaha.

Regards,
Enrico
