That argument doesn't win with me: If we take that attitude over one feature,
then why do we support the Mac, if we didn't surely the argument of "don't use
a Mac" would apply to being able to use BrailleBlaster.
As the decision has been made to support the Mac, I think we should do it
properly.
As applications which can have multiple documents open do exist on the Mac, why
should BrailleBlaster not support it on the Mac when it supports it else where?
We cannot use the excuse of the platform not supporting it because other
applications show otherwise.
