It is a serious tool. Just because it doesn't have every feature someone<br>
thinks should be in it, or work the way they'd design it, doesn't keep<br>
it from being a serious tool--nor does it make it any less viable as a<br>
solution for many scenarios.<br>
<br>
If having every useful feature were the criterion for being a serious tool,<br>
we could laugh just about every piece of software off the market as<br>
irrelevant, which is hardly the case.<br>
<br>
I find this kind of derision, smiley notwithstanding, insulting. At least<br>
Ryan's doing something and putting it out there. You've mentioned yours,<br>
but I get the impression it's an in-house deal. When yours is up and out<br>
there for public consumption, then you can criticise others' with some<br>
mild degree of authority.<br>
