However, yes, please close this thread, it's littered with nonsensical statements.
If this is the new standard then LOTS of threads here would have to be closed!
I am actually surprised you would take this stance; weren't you the one who created animated screenshot demos showing PG how to redesign the GUI?
Hold your horses JJJ. Please don't misquote me.
The O/P stated: "Best to just close this silly thread. [CLOSED]"
I simply agreed that it should be closed, because a rewrite in a different language (that's the subject matter of the thread, isn't it?) is just begging for trouble. And with absolute respect to the O/P's intentions, comments about doing this is 6 months are simply bizarre.
Please note that I also stated:
We all (myself included) want reliable and robust products, and improvements to the interface.
I didn't suggest not to produce a better, more robust version with a better interface. I suggested that starting again from scratch and writing it in a new language was not the way to deliver this. I've been writing high-level and low-level code in multiple languages for most of my working career. Believe me, I know how
not to approach this.
And if the truth be known, I
actually truly admire Pipeline's stance. There is clearly a genuine intention from Pipeline to improve the product. I support that 100%. And there is always room for improvement. The way it gets delivered is the only part that I have concerns about.
Bring on a better product? Certainly!
I hope this clarifies.
