I have to disagree. Being rich in features is not UR’s problem in my mind, and nor is its interface. It’s problems stem from lack of a usable help file, lack of useful error messages when something is not doing what it is supposed to do, lack of a user-friendly support system and general sluggishness. I think Kinook should concentrate on those issues before fiddling with the interface. As we’ve discussed before, you like the challenge of spending time trying to find a way around UR’s limitations to use it’s power to the max. Personally, I don’t have the time or inclination to take on that challenge. I can get the same power elsewhere, more easily. :-)
