Did that, however not terribly enlightening.  The patch that's sitting
in launchpad allows defaulting the sidebars to hidden, but it's not been
merged.  Doesn't keep them disabled though, editing an existing bit of
text causes the sidebar to be turned back on. If it were to auto-close
after you were done it wouldn't be as much of a problem.

I'm not particularly interested in flame-wars, but I'm left wondering if
those have discouraged the developer and caused him to give up part way
through?
That's his choice of course, but I end up asking if it's worth keeping
something that feels half finished and may never progress any further?
