With OTA12 gedit disappeared from my M10. Also from the Store. I tried to find some simple text editor but didn't succeed.
Is there no simple text editor available?
Second thing is the Store itself. I once reported a bug "Browsing a Store is a nightmare". I just found a game in the Science section and lots of apps either with no description or there is one in a foreign language. Dear developers, please try to create app in English so that the apps are translatable as from the very beginning on the Ubuntu PC. There is gonna be more and more apps therefore we're gonna loose a control one day over it. It actually happens already. As an example let's take a Cordova Mobile Spec. I understand You take for granted that any programmist will know what Cordova is BUT there are many examples as this one in other categories for normal users: either no description or for example something in Spanish that noone is able to understand. There will be more and more apps and if things go this way, we're gonna have a total chaos.I translated myself the greater part of Ubuntu Software Center. There were something like close to 5000 strings for program name and its description. So it was over 2000 programs. Without my translations as well as the other translators Software Center would be quite useless for every user in my country.Dear Canonical, please think either about a language filter or force developer to use English, as well as do not accept any new apps in the Store without description. Otherwise we're gonna sink in thousands of apps or better in a case of Ubuntu Touch, thousands of icons: in Ubuntu Software Center we had program name and description. In Software Store we have a name and the name of the author and rating as if it was the most important so our brain chooses and finds programs by the icons and name rather than anything else cause there is nothing else. The filter works poorely or can't work at all if there are some other languages used (uTorch-made by my Polish mate but sorry, your description should be translatable also in other languages, especially that a torch is one of the basic and most important apps).
