an old ex developers perspective...lol.

when it comes to gui's...lots of users want it 'their way' which might be different from other users.

in industry we strived time and again to get user groups to agree amongst themselves how gui's should look without success in order to keep down the size of the code base....cos often we ended doing 'one offs' to keep a particular user or department happy.

i suspect if pg opened up the gui topic...like a town hall..to its user community like some developers do...given the above i doubt concensus could be reached.

the ideal of course is a totally flexible user configurable gui. but this has downsides also.
we tried that and the exe we soon realised would balloon and the app with its already huge code base would be a maintenance nightmare.

in summary i dont think there is a solution to the gui conundrum. the developer is always on a hiding to nothing sadly....due to the many different user opinions.

there are things i would like in bb/rb but i keep on telling myself bb and rb are already large app exe's.

happy new year to all.
