"And this is exactly what explains the clutter in ardour UI. :)" Does it sound better? 100% sarcasm IMNSVHO. I was at least trying to be 100% serious. The point i was trying to make is: There are developers were born to design great technologies and make them better. And there are developers or even non-developers which were born to make & design UIs which people would love to use. Paul falls into the first category. But i have a strong feeling that he thinks he falls into both categories. Web design, marketing speech, UI design, documentation, developing a monster application and being competitive with proprietary counterparts.

We're in the marketing hype thread which i've started. ;) Marek
