Pentadactyl, the Vimperator replacement

Posted by tibi at Nov 05, 2010 05:56 PM | Permalink

If you haven't got the memo yet, the cool kids no longer run Vimperator, but instead have forked it and run it under the name of Pentadactyl. The reasons, apparently, are that Vimperator received slow updates and didn't have a nice environment for the community to get involved.

Well, I'm trying Pentadactyl and there are a few visible things that are improvements from Vimperator, but the workflow remains the same. I guess I'm not a Vimperator power user. One thing I miss, though, is the name. Vimperator had a certain resonance that I don't find in the five fingers pun that is Pentadactyl.
