The whole reason I posted in the "Complete rewrite of the program. Seriously" that has since been deleted is to show how you could have the Win & Mac version released at the same time rather than having to spend 6 months on each unlike other companies that release Win/Mac apps at the same time. I'm sure most users could make do with the GUI interface as it is but it don't solve the Win/Mac release date equality issues. Like it is something you will indeed eventually have to do, it's not some weird obscure idea. The suggestion is to make things better as Cerio intended, as he has given up like me has left the forum before through frustration.
A lot of users may report the issues then give up with it never to be seen again. Someone in another forum told me they purchased the BBPlugin and could not get it to work right so gave up all together with it, that hurts me to hear that, maybe it don't bother PG but it's a common story, again I liken it to Gordon Ramsay Kitchen Nightmares scenareo.
You shouldn't cancel people with ideas that may shake things up with a few truth bombs or undiplomatic statements especially about "time signatures". Maybe like before apple will force your hand into change, wouldn't it be good to be ahead of this not a mad rush when it happens to then do it.
You have these wonderful world class session players and wonderful musical programming that pieces it all together underneath the interface and old restriction from the DOS days that let's them down as to what it's potential could be.
You have the talent in the session players and the musical programming side but as the BIABguy said "just bring in new faces and fresh ideas" to give talent to the GUI interface design, and he is not just anyone he is a "BIAB"guy.
Sure you can wing it and get away with it maybe for some more years but it don't do it justice.
I don't say it all for selfish means, I don't use Mac anymore but it would be fair to give Mac users the same thing at the same time.

I had really high hopes for the plug-in version but because of a number of issues I haven't looked at it in a couple of years. I went gone back to using the main BiaB version. I also think and have said many times it is time for a complete rewrite. BiaB is the only software program that I have been using for years that hasn't either had a complete rewrite or a major partial rewrite.
When you are at the checkout line and they ask if you found everything say "Why, are you hiding stuff?"
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

BiaB is the only software program that I have been using for years that hasn't either had a complete rewrite or a major partial rewrite. It must have had at least one significant rewrite, when they adopted the Delphi programming language, as BiaB predates Delphi by several years. I have mixed feeling about RAD (rapid applications development) tools. They're quick and easy to start, but not always so easy to maintain and grow. I haven't used Delphi, so I can't say if that's so in this case, but it sometimes feels like it.

You're right, Delphi can get out of control with feature creep, but I always enjoyed using it.
