Man, where does this crap end? A permission system to click on a menu or type a character? A permission system to draw windows...?

I think there has to be some responsibility from projects that pack such plugins, to police their ecosystem. I can understand browsers having security layers, because they work exclusively with the biggest cesspool of them all (the internet), but stuff as basic as a text editor should not need something like that - if it does, something else has gone deeply wrong with the project.




Interesting that you use browsers as the example of the other end of the spectrum. This particular text editor is built on a browser.


That's very true - it's also the reason I stay the hell away from it :)
