The only problem with somebody extending the control is that doesn't help
us who are already using the control, ScintillaNET and other
implementations use the actual control itself? The point of the control
(for me anyway) is for reuse otherwise just have Scite, and if it's very
difficult for us to reuse the control because we're all rewriting the same
logic, over and over again, that is a major deficiency. Logic that one
expects to find in Scintilla like smart indent, find/replace and more not
being present seem to be major issues, these are tons of common, everyday
features in Scite that really should pushed into the control. Why add more
features when these core ones are yet missing?
