hi,
first of all, I do like [nbx] and do see its usefulness. But there are few concerns:
Dangers of having hidden send/receive in a core object class.
Compatibility across releases (is the parameter set of [nbx] ready
to be freezed?).
Portability across environments (mainly font issues).
Adjustability to other gui frontends (well, parting from tcl/tk
seems more and more improbable, anyway...)
If they are somehow addressed, then we will have another nice tool.
Btw. performance is not an issue -- or, rather, [nbx] should perform better, because update requests for gatom are passed through a lot of generic text object routines, much too many to be efficient.
