LOL Yes.

And, I think, if I may say so, that it's TB!-plus-me that all of us
always talk about. As a diverse group of beta-testers, the sum of our
individual findings and points-of-view is what helps both RitLabs and
its developers.

I've been using TB! since v. 1.61 but only beta testing since 3.0. But
I lurked on the beta list from about v. 2.06. And I concur with your
criticism of RitLabs development priorities, in the main. But they are
the ones with the business plan, and so they implement it. I'm no
business woman, and The Bat! stays alive, so I have to think they know
better about what their priorities should be than I do.

I think it is clear, though, that you are not in a minority in wishing
they would not do a final release of a version--as they did with both
3.0 and 3.5--without getting at least the newer features a bit less
confusing. More than one of us would have liked to see at least one
more RC before the final release this time.

Thought so. I think most of the more annoying things are going to be
fixed, in time. Like windows that don't remember. The move-to window
that won't stay expanded, mirroring the current condition of the
folder tree, for instance. I really miss that one. :)
