Comment (by hellik): Replying to [comment:18 marisn]: > AAAGH! It's the end of 2015 and GRASS continues its death march towards "let's dumb it down to not confuse beginners and thus lose the only reason why we are still relevant". If there are no "advanced" features then "beginners" do not see any reason why to use GRASS not QGIS (and I have to agree with it). If you want to see how it will end, just take a look at Firefox. > > I just had to explain to a QGIS user why he can not find in GRASS "snapping tolerance" setting he had been using in QGIS. Reason - you must belong to the secret society who passes its secrets only to chosen ones and type --ui in that black window to get a dialog with all options not an useless dumbed down version where is not possible to change any of not-so- common properties under e.g. button "advanced". (Yes, v.in.ogr snapping setting is exposed to QGIS users and, as far as I know, nobody has died because of it) > > I do not thing that users who get confused by "Launch advanced interface" button are the target audience of GRASS GIS. I'm strongly +1 for re-adding an advanced button to the wizzard. As I'm often working with foreign data which needs often finetuning for importing (e.g. snapping tolerance, where selection, etc). it's annoying to always start with --ui. I'm not sure why a 'normal' user should be confused with a advanced button. What is a 'normal' user? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/2042#comment:19> GRASS GIS <https://grass.osgeo.org> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
