there is one fundamental principle one follows in criticising/commenting on open source applications:
the developer gets to choose his platform and his tools. It is counter productive to give long arguments about his choice. He is not going to change especially after putting in a hell of a lot of hard work. Criticise the application - tear it to pieces, but respect his choice of the colour he uses to paint his bike shed.
"especially putting in a hell lot of efords ", One must also realise that if "hell lot of efords are put in " this probably means that the developer or developers have some insight into the product they are using. So perhaps there is a way to overcome the so called *weekness* of a particular system and the developers already know it, given the fact they have used it for more than a year.
happy hacking. Krishnakant.
