well.. personally I think this is a good report.
I agree and I think he should take the time to make a similar evaluation
of the latest code rather than spending time on things that have already
been addressed
The responses so far have been of the frame of mind of "well if you
don't like it - change it" or even worse "well if you don't like it -
don't use it"
Part of the point of open source is exactly "if you don't like it,
change it". Try to do that with you Tivo. The point being made is that
while the out of the box Myth menus or keybindings may not work for you,
it is entirely in *your* hands to make them work better because you have
the power to do it.
This is an old (and tiring!) point of view and really doesn't help
future the cause of OpenSource software in general. If this was still
the frame of mind then linux wouldn't have ever got out of console
mode (and yeah - we all know there are still some elitists that would
love that)
How is OpenSource software ever expected to get into the realm of
public use without it being easier to use?? more software should
undergo similar Usability Testing.
It doesn't get much easier than being able to make the software do
exactly what *you* want it to do...
