Why does anyone think there's any value you in this kind of pretend criticism?
You suggested alternatives PACKAGES, not FEATURES.
I have responded to many requests so far. Give me a detail that you like about some other software, and I will implement that feature it if I agree it is valuable. Tell me you just plain like a package, and I will have nothing to work with.
Yes, I expect people to resist change.
Look, this is software addresses a long list of ideas made by users of this site over many years. If I thought another package would do what I think people want, I would have used another package. Those other packages do not address enough issues. I'll tell you, honestly, another reason I did not go with the other packages: people would have hated them even more so. I am positive of this. One critical difference: no concern for hierarchy. Hierarchy is modeled after how people speak: discussions break down into different threads. The other packages do not address this. Therefore they do not cut it.
I can make this software anything it needs to be. Obviously I have dedicated a great deal of time to it. Don't give me this "tyrant" stuff. This is based on 4 years of experience with this user base. I have addressed many user issues. I have addressed many since I launched it for testing a couple of months ago. And I gave everyone a chance to give input. Valuable, meaningful, respectful ideas HAVE been addressed, and this will continue when such ideas arrive. I see none so far in this thread.
