Sure, that's the typical design engineer employee's attitude -- faster faster, don't bug me with the details that aren't critical. Doesn't help niche market engineers or moonlight engineers as much. The openness of non-locked data plus ability to create custom work flows is why we work on free code. We want it to be super easy and intuitive, and run on any platform, it just takes time and effort. We probably want about the same things you do...but averages are not all... EE designers are very individual and often make their own styles of work different from others at their same company.
