Petr,
Your posts and support are much appreciated and always have been.
Matter of fact, the whole Open Letter thread has been very
informative and I can assure you "we are listening"...we are all
listening. It's going to take a little time, but Carl will
follow up this Open Letter thread with some good answers and details
(and maybe some questions). As for the criticism, it is taken as
offered: both constructive and accurate. REBOL is far from being
above any criticism as we have made our share of mistakes, (including
missed deadlines) but continue to hang in there and in the end we
hope to reward you!
best regards,
dan
p.s. the technical team is working their a**es off to get View out
by the end of this week for Beta release...you will all love it :-)
