Interesting — I'd say the editor is actually Bear's weakest spot. I keep fighting it all the time and wish it didn't try to do things "automagically" for me.
replyFor example, editing a set of tags causes endless frustration. I can never guess what the tool will do next or what it expects me to do.

replyWhy?
I've written about this a bunch before and wasn't looking to take the thread off on a tangent; I'm really just saying how much I like Bear. Bear is great. I don't think I could come up with many ways to make it suit me better, which is not something I can say about a lot of other software.
replyWhy not? Its 2026 you can waive a hand and have bespoke opinionated FREE apps that do what you want and keep your data where you want.
replyCompare that to being forced to use someone else's highly opinionated software that might have paid pro features you need or don't need.
What a strange question to ask.
“why pay to go see a movie that someone else made, when I can see a movie I made for free?”
replyI'm not looking to be surprised by the tools I want to use for my specific purposes. Apples and oranges.
