there's an old joke about a sign hanging in the auto repair shop which says "Good Price. Quality Workmanship. Fast Turnaround. Pick any two"

When you can't have everything, you have to prioritize what is a MUST HAVE and what is a luxury. Not everybody prioritizes the same things.

If I had to choose between features and interface, I'd concede the interface and insist on features.

Granted, the interface is not a core strength of the product, but it gets the job done.

If I were scratching my head trying to decide whether to buy the latest version... if the main change was a bunch of new real tracks I liked, I would probably go for it. But if the main change was an interface change, I would certainly skip that release. That's just my preference.

And I bet I'm not the only person who feels that way.
