I agree with you fully.  While my first truely successful panorama
using Hugin is yet to come, I'm optimistic that I will reach that
goal.  But my primary motivations are my very intensive play
instinct (I'm a researcher, too) and my strong belief in free
software.  If I was pragmetic, wanting Getting Things Done, I'd use
other tools.  That's okay -- Hugin has it's niche, and for many
including me, it is an important one.

Critisising a FLOSS program should never be answered with "you're
ungrateful" or "don't look a gift horse in the mouth" or "implement
it yourself, it's open source".  This leads to nowhere.  A proper
answer is disputing the argument per se, or pointing to lack of
manpower.

Tschö,
Torsten.
