Has anyone used this? What's it like for the experienced Wikipedia editor?
Next to useless, I'm afraid. No browser chrome, i.e. no way to go back or forward. No links in text, which sort of defeats the whole purpose of having a hyperlinked encyclopedia. Text window too small, can't resize it, can't hide the images, can't scroll or enlarge the images... nah. Oh, and I managed to have it crash in less than no time. :)
On the other hand: TreeBrowse (http://yoy.be/item.asp?i115) *is* a wonderfully interesting way to browse through Wikipedia. Screenshot here: http://www.vuijlsteke.be/michel/treebrowse.png
