Precisely. Therefore to the author simply writing an engine that can e plugged conveniently into the gui you or I might use the most - and regard as the standard - is a boring task. He would prefer to write a gui that he thinks best complements his engine. Who am I to say that he is wrong? The general tone is not one of wait and see but of almost savage ripping. Let us say that we both go to a motor car dealer. In light of the rising petrol prices do we lead a demonstration or a riot outside of the sellers of huge gas guzzling vehicles? No. We simply go down the road to the economy section. Same here. No need to demand this or go on and on about it. Simply talk with the money when the time comes. I have found much of the argument that goes on here could be avoided if the potential buyers simply decided on this issue the same way they decide on any other economic decision. Quietly, with their money instead of hurling all sorts of stuff over the ether. Present company excluded Jonas. :-) Later.
