Smultron is a decent app that was a pleasure to use with the first versions. While the three latest versions brought some niche feature improvements the interface got worse with every step.
First we saw the nice icons to be deleted and being replaced with ugly ones, then the ugly ones were replaced with something better but they still couldn’t be compared with the first ones. The next version skipped some toolbar buttons from the toolbar (Syntax Colours, Line Wrap, Snippets, Projects) and now the last version exchanged the glossy, juicy and “nice looking in the dock” strawberry application icon with a flat and boring drawn version.
I don’t know what’s up with the author of this app. He is great in coding a very well working editor but he shouldn’t try to be an icon artist.
No one would complain if this was the first version of Smultron and the app never had better icons, but they were already there and are gone now!
This forces me to still use 2.0.3 with the old, first version icons.
Please, release the next version with all the old icons and all toolbar buttons again.
