But Walter.

If its true that the very first decision was to "zero out" the existing code base and write on an entirely new foundation - re-examining every design and implementation decision in light of where the hardware, software, and even the market has evolved - then it has to be fair to allow the same amount of time for this code base to evolve and stabilize that all other programs have needed to mature.

This constant need to compare X to Legacy and lament the change (talking of others here, not you.) is understandable - but getting old.

Those who can't live with the change need to move on. Premier has their switch discount in place again. Avid remains a safe and fully developed choice.

I'm simply saying that after this long, those remaining fixated on what Legacy "used to be" are in danger of getting stuck in the past. Someone experiences an unwanted divorce and yes, grief is natural and accepted. Maintaining the shrine in the back bedroom and visiting it daily - once inevitability is fully established - is a sign one is having trouble moving on.

FWIW.
