Whilst on Reggie Holiday I realised ... I don't think we should bend over backwards for Mac or Linux?

We are getting no platform specific feedback. And creating something via second-guessing I think is a formula for endless hassle.

The MAIN issue is Mac & Linux setting for specific functions like "editor".

I SUGGEST we abandon handling that. Too many indefinites.

Rather, in do-settings.ps1, there is a test IF "platform.ps1" exists which could contain any platform specific variables. Load if exists. Otherwise not and they need edit manually via their OS?

Everything would work as is.

I think you and I should concentrate on working with "commonalities", not differences, between platforms.

Hope this is clear? What do you think?
