> So yes, it is illogical that some users want the VE first ready, but that is the result of a long desired wish to have a fully working VE which apparently is considered a larger need than a better search. I constantly keep trying to inform the community about why, how, when, etc to get a better picture of technical changes. Lucky most users understand that both pieces of software are independent of each other and really like to move on and have the software improved, including the search.
This is getting off topic, but... I don't think this is illogical. Introducing features/change stresses users (change is stresful-just like in real life). This stress is much increased if the change is buggy. I'm not surprised that users would want existing changes finalized/fixed before going through more changes. Thus minimizing the total amount of potential brokeness during one given moment in time. Its worse to have 2 things broken at the same time then having them broken in serial. (Not suggesting that search will break things, or that viz ed is "broken", but hopefully you get the gist of my poiny) Even more to the point, thinking that users will treat different components as separate based on which dev team is working on it is unrealistic. Users don't care about the parts, they care about the complete experiance. My 2 cents... -bawolff
