Well that's a different topic isn't it. An iPad as a border of its own 
(a physical border) that you don't really care about.

I don't know why you are comparing yourself to me :p.

I was talking about stuff that *does* get published. And to that other 
person (David Fletcher), I do not only write source code in text 
editors, they can be used for other things as well. A Word Processor is 
often a too bloated environment for simple things and you like something 
in between, or at least something that is reasonably usable for regular 
text as well.

That said of course I do not need markup in a regular text editor, 
that's the whole point of these things (although WordPad is nice, and 
*should* be a nice in-between) but a regular text editor still has *for 
me* to not distract me from the code/text by having an imposing text 
frame and or border display that draws more attention than the text you 
are looking at. It is just graphical design principles from my point of 
view.

For example, in my current email writer (roundcube) I do not have the 
issue even though it also has a thin distance but the border is not 
imposing, as well as that the edge does not fall away and instantly show 
the desktop, so the desktop (or other windows) is also not interfering 
with the display of the text.

I just don't want to be distracted, that's all, and with these 
thin-border editors your text is met side-by-side with whatever 
irrelevance might be going on in the background.

Try to focus on your text when a girl is staring at you from just around 
the edge of your monitor, with one eye, for example :p.

So the roundcube editor not only has a non-imposing border that does not 
draw attention, it also has a swath of white sitting next to it, being 
non-distracting.

To me, that's just very pleasant and I'm never distracted by it.

"All that is required is clarity on the screen"

That is what I was speaking of.
