Comment #10 on issue 698 by pnorcks: Windows users should be offered a
better first impression

In response to Valentin's original post, I don't think it's worth working
too much on
the *existing* LilyPad for Windows, per se. This editor is a
nearly-identical
version of the Wine Notepad from 2005! The Wine Notepad has been improved
since
then, but it's starting to rely on parts of the Windows API that MinGW has
not yet
implemented. (I recently tried updating it to reflect Wine git, but it was
too much
of a hassle for too little benefit.)
Rather, it might be better to write a cross-platform GUI (not Java based)
so that
we're not stuck using the Windows API. I've been thinking about starting a
project
like this for a while, but I'm not promising anything yet.
