I can recommend Vaadin[1]. It feels like a successor to GWT, feels natural for backend develops and looks similar to Swing. A big component library is included and it offers binding for Typscript webcomponents (there's a frontend-centric variant of the framework named Hilla too).

Frontend states are held in a backend session, so it's safe for manipulations but i'd only recommend it for management UIs.

I've used Vaadin for a small Kotlin utility and really liked it. The learning curve was pretty friendly and there's good documentation on their site.

Isn't Vaadin paid? The last time I took a look, I got denied because of licensing.

On Windows I always used HiEdit http://www.winasm.net/free-small-fast-text-editor.html Written in asm and can open files including several gigabytes.

Vim does a quite good job too.

Looks nice and reminds me of Seti (https://github.com/ctf0/Seti_ST3)

And here we are... that's why AdBlockPlus isn't reliable anymore. They started with helping the user getting rid of all the ad-ridden websites and now they are monetizing it (not that it is wrong, but there should be another way - they are crippling their product).

Currently I'm using uBlock on all browsers using EasyList blocklists on all browsers.

We have ~10.000 selenium- and htmlunit-tests, run on multiple VMs to test against our product. Writing and maintaining tests is quite good due to a lot of helper classes, but test-execution needs ~24h. Currently we are trying to decrease the number of ui tests and increase component tests which should run a lot faster.

IMHO the Raspberry Pi brings a lot of processing power - depending on what you'll do, that might be more than enough. It brings a lot of addon-boards, tutorials and a good community, so it might be a good starting point.

Who would have expected that? Maybe this can be a userfriendlier alternative to Chromium? All that is missing: opensource it.

Well, it's basically just Chromium, so I doubt it would ever be more user-friendly, and effectively it is open-sourced.

I think it's fair to hope for a more customizable Chromium, since customizability is one of the things Opera was known for. For me personally, things like a bookmarks sidebar and more flexible tab positioning would help tempt me to switch back to Opera from Firefox.

Well there are 2 features I really miss in Chromium (which are implemented in Opera now): * easily Add/remove websites from the speeddial * closing the last tab won't quit the browser (this annoyed me the most)

Last time I used Opera there was no way to change the default search engine. That was a deal-breaker for me.

The saddest part about that is that opera was the first browser I knew of that allowed changing the default search engine in the first place, about 13 years ago.

It's not basically Chromium. It's using Chromium yes, but with a new interface.

It's similarly featureless.

That can be said about just about any browser, such as IE, Firefox, etc. Too many features -> bloat + user confusion.

Yet the old Opera was (and is) much faster than chrome/firefox. User confusion is valid if those are the users you are after. For the "what is Internet?" crowd there's Chrome already, and I think there's enough space for something else.

Furthermore "...to find his bed surrounded by police officers. Automatic weapons were pointing at his head..." - that doesn't sound like Germany. Guns are only drawn if you are visibly armed.

Pretty amazing accomplishment for the German police: they fired only 85 bullets in 2011 http://www.thewire.com/global/2012/05/german-police-used-onl...

Prettyprinting/unobfuscating the JavaScript sourcecode (like in chrome and opera) would be nice.

Sourcemap support + unminification are coming.
