WTF doesn't Camino take advantage of OS X's free spelling service? Are these developers INSANE or are they all just perfect spellers?

I'm not a perfect speller, which means I have to use Safari or Omniweb if I want to post at a discussion forum without coming off as an illiterate 'tard. A web browser needs a spell checker, period.

Based on my talks with a few OS X developers, adding OS X's spelling service is easy, Easy, EASY! Do it!

I'm angry. Angry because I want to use Camino, because I feel it is a superior browser to Safari, but Safari keeps pulling me back in with its spell checking capability.

Thanks for listening to my rant - hopefully Camino developers read this stuff. Not to worry, next I'm off to submit a feature request to the Camino group for spelling services, and a bug report on broken spelling services! Heh.

Spell Check! - anomalogue1

I totally agree. The main reason I use Safari is for the spell checker.

Spell Check! - ARChid

The main reason Camino doesn't have spell checking, as far as I can understand, is that it still uses Mozilla's text fields rather than native OS X ones. They've said on the official forums that it's on the way, though!
