if those negative comments are those of a noisy few or the general

A noisy few.

c'mon Joe, your bias is showing. I have the utmost respect for you
but to simply dismiss many unhappy customers as the 'noisy few' is
unfair and unfounded.
Almost everybody I've run into loves RB2006; it's a huge
improvement over previous versions.

If you check the feedbacks you'll find many, many criticisms of the
2005/2006 versions. The ones critical of the interface are the among
the highest ranked of ALL feedbacks. I sent a list along to Geoff at
one stage to verify this and even he was surprised. Whilst Joe might
find everybody loves it, from what I've read here most people - even
those who like it - find many things which don't work or are missing.
I have tried (over and over) to use the new version but simply can't
stand it. I find it slow, buggy and poorly designed. I'm no longer
paying the subscription and won't do so again unless there are major
changes. The shame of it is that I loved using RB 5.5.5. The irony
is that the program which got me into programming has also turned me
away from it.
My advice, download the demo and see what YOU think - that's all
that's going to matter.
cheers
