It's perfectly plausible. Perhaps we’re arch enemies destined to fight to the death over some perceived insult to my mother. It’s perfectly plausible.

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out! I’ve been wanting to look into unit testing for awhile now but have never made the time. Thanks for the link, I’ll check it out!

I have worked on two editors myself (Qoole and GtkRadiant) and since I wasn’t aware of TDD or unit testing at the time I didn’t get to do that, but I feel it would be extremely valuable to have a whole editor done with TDD. For example on Qoole there are some horrible math issues which I’m sure there wouldn’t be there if I had done at least some unit testing. In my current research engine I have around 300 unit tests with an average of 3 checks per test, it’s has been a while since I last had a bug on code that is tested, and in the few cases there was a bug I added another test and now I’m sure I won’t re-introduce the same bug again in a later version. I don’t work with Objective-C myself but if you want to try some unit testing you may want to check out http://developer.apple.com/tools/unittest.html Talking about debugging, have you ever thought about using test driven development or at least unit testing for the editor?
