Well, unless you write all your own programs, it's the same for all
software.  If software authors weren't so arrogant that they reckon they
know more than someone else, they wouldn't be writing their program in
the first place...  ;-)

You do have to wonder at some decisions, though.  Some user interfaces
are just bloody awful to use, or require a system with specifications
similar to CAD and 3D rendering requirements, but someone thought they
were a good idea.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
