I think Chainsaw /can/ be useful, but it currently is not. If people are willing to work on it a bit more, I can help out a bit. I can see it potentially being useful for the type of work that I do(embedded work) but it needs a fair amount of attention in order to get to the useful level IMO.
I have spent a fair amount of time getting it into a state where it will run with newer JVMs and removing the old dependencies and re-architecting the backend to be more generic and allow for inputs from all types of sources. I think the basic architecture is sound at this point, but I think the GUI is much too busy to make it useful. I have been thinking about how it could be re-done though, I do have some ideas that I can put in a new thread.
