I respect your personal feelings about the thing. but I only suggest not to generalise, because there will be 10 others who might say the other way round. because the chances are that you could never get the grasp of the features which you find as missing?
To make my point clear: last week I had the pleasure of driving around in a Rewa for 4 days. The Rewa is an electric car, max speed about 45 kmph, no gears. It is comfortable for two people and especially within the city is very convenient to drive. It is noiseless and non-polluting.
Inkscape is nither a car nor is eco friendly. Mind you just like corel, inkscape has many features which need some learning. nothing comes easy.
If everyone drove around in Rewas, our cities would become paradises.
if Anti Free software people start understanding the value of freedom and also appreciate the high qualities then the entire world will be a paradises.
It fulfilled all my needs - got me from point A to point B in comfort and without pollution. So how do I convince my friend to switch from his mercedes to a Rewa? Tell him that Rewa is as good as a mercedes? It is not. It doesnt have 10% of the features of the mercedes. But it is eco-friendly, which the mercedes is not. So my friend will only shift if he is convinced that using an eco-friendly car is more important than the other features that a mercedes offers
wow! sounds a good analogy, the only problem is that it more suits to a comparison with tally and gnu cash. I think this debate must stop here because people are smart enough to figure out what to generalise and what should be taken as a personal feeling. for those who will be really interested, we will invite every one to the rounds of workshops we will be holding to prove the quality of free software and we specially will welcome the anti free software people and people who unfortunately never had success using it and have a mis guided or mis understood fact. Freedom fighters and free software friends, it is time to really do an analysis for our selvse about the quality and other aspects of free software. regards, Krishnakant. -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
