Supercount:
1. It was and only has been under my maintenance.
2. If you want an edit counter that displays on a single page, use xTools.
3. Why? What purpose would that serve. That would leave you with the form on one tab and the results in another?
4. I have never seen the tool take more than 30 seconds to load. And quite frankly it never crashed during this fiasco either.
5. The name was given as I had intentions to make the edit counter more capable. But now that xTools exists I might as well rename it.
xTools:
1. The xTools team, which seems to be primarily me once again at the moment. xTools is a bundle of tools, initially written by X!.
2. What pop-out cake parts? All information is on one page already.
3. Again. Why?
4. This tool is usually faster than supercount, when the tool isn’t overloaded.
5. In this case, we are preserving the name X!’s Edit Counter

Subject: Re: [xTools] xTools rewrite underway
The community has various uses for X-tools and user editing analysis. Also users are confused about what are X-tools and what are other tools, especially when there are perhaps several tools by different developers that do basically the same things
I believe that the developers may possibly not be fully aware of these uses and therefore may not take them all into consideration.
WE have some confusion because there are two edit counters. First and foremost there is the question of user edit counters. Some users consider these to be gimmiks or gadgets (toys) but there are situations were these are required for very serious research and they need to display in a manner that is appropriate for serious users.
Supercount
Who is now responsible for the maintenance of this tool?
Can it be reverted to its former presentation without the pop-out cake parts and having all the information on one page?
Can it be designed to open in a new tab?
Can it be designed to load in a few seconds instead of a few minutes?
Can it be given a name that tell us waht it does> e.g. Simple edit counter
