Maybe, but not everyone is called to spend a whole lot of time
advocating for change in this software. I've spent a lot of time
in these newsgroups, and for every time I received a satisfactory
answer on how to do something, there were five times where either
it couldn't be done or there wasn't even a reply. At some point
the people at the top - and I am not called to be one of them -
are responsible for the logic and feel of the program. And at
some point each user must decide whether he can work with what
he's given.

My helping thus far has been to try to supply answers to other
users with problems. Search my posts and see that my goal is
always to be helpful. But the Bible instructs us to speak the
truth in love; there's a place for saying we've got a problem we
need to deal with.

No doubt not everyone agrees with me; that's fine. The issue I
face is whether I should continue with the program or re-migrate.
I hate doing that, because I hate the way MS throws its weight
around (frankly, I wish Ami Pro was still around). So I've held
off on the decision. And my user needs are not as deep as they
used to be. But however I decide, it's only honest to say that I
have this tension concerning OO.

fwiw.
