Pepper Author Calls It Quits

Posted by pudge on from the for-now-anyway dept.

gruber writes "Maarten Hekkelman, author of the cross-platform text editor Pepper, has thrown in the towel. He announced last week that he's discontinuing Pepper. He agreed to an interview with me, on topics ranging from the state of Mac OS X to the difficulties of cross-platform development." It's quite an interesting read, even if he does currently prefer Windows XP over Mac OS X and Linux.

    Unknown Author X of unknown, unused product Y is "calling it quits." The don't-care-o-meter of everyone shoots to 10. World continues using BBEdit for text files.

    Really. Has anyone ever heard of "pepper"? If BBEdit decided to call it quits on Mac then I could see it being worthy of note... but "Pepper"?
