That may be, just may be the criterion that if you want success? It proverb says: It does not matter what color the cat is, the main thing it catches mice.

Yes, that's right. I think if you look for improvements, you should see who can help as a multiplier. In the sidebar that are e.g. the macro developer that could use the sidebar in their applications. My inquiry to a few months ago but unfortunately had little resonance. This here would be an area where we could greatly advance AOO, that if we increase the opportunities for macro programmers, whether. In the Basic DIE, or with respect to the simple usability of the sidebar in macros Look at MS Office, a large part of its success is owed o the applications the macro developer, based on this, to end users, program.
