Yes, agree, it '''was''' the best more than 10 years ago when I have used
it for writing usb_scsi for BeOS. ;-) But the author, unfortunately,
decided to abandon the BeOS version and now it has no future on Haiku
platform. From the other side I have never used S&T so I have no personal
reasons to take care about it but I just noted that introducing more
complicate shortcuts because some forgotten software has "reserved" it a
decade ago is not good idea. S&T exists on Haiku already for years and its
users base is much bigger than Eddie's one, IMHO. We have to look to the
Future not the Past, even if the past war brilliant.
PS: May be somebody can ask Pavel about open-sourcing the BeOS version?
;-)
