BIAB has always been my favourite piece of music software. I've learnt A LOT as a musician during these last years with it, I've always recommended it to my fellow musicians, and I've always said that buying BIAB is one of the the best investments any musician can do in his musical life.

I've always been (and still am) a fan.

Having said that, I think that the "50 new features each year" growth model (adding more and more features without caring too much for internal consistence with old ones) has put BIAB in a complicated situation: the program is more and more complex each year (specially for beginners), really buggy (some of the bugs have been there for years), and the GUI has gone, IMO, just out of control.

So, as a customer, I have a kind of love-hate relationship with the software: I love how it works when I use the very basic functions (writing some chords, choosing a style and pressing play, for example), but I often get frustrated / demotivated when I'm trying to use more advanced functions, just to discover that they just don't work as they should (or don't work at all), or when I feel creative / musically inspired and can't do what I have in mind, simply because the feature I need is hidden in a labyrinth of buttons, menus and cryptic terminology.

IMHO, we really don't need 50 new features for 2016, but a serious revision of what we already have, and a complete redesign of the GUI from a fresh perspective.

In any case, I also really want PG Music to succeed smile
