Sorry Fons, but define acceptable! Please!
I will define as non-acceptable the implication:
Paul uses a text based mail client
=>
this explains why his GUI designs are cluttered.
It would be acceptable and in this context even funny with a :-),
but I didn't see that.
"And this is exactly what explains the clutter in ardour UI. :)"
Does it sound better? 100% sarcasm IMNSVHO.
I was at least trying to be 100% serious.
The point i was trying to make is:
There are developers were born to design great technologies and make
them better. And there are developers or even non-developers which were
born to make & design UIs which people would love to use.
Paul falls into the first category. But i have a strong feeling that he
thinks he falls into both categories.
Web design, marketing speech, UI design, documentation, developing a
monster application and being competitive with proprietary counterparts.
You just can't do it all.
just as you are describing my opinions as fallacy
and "dumb-down".
I did describe as a fallacy the opinion that 'sitting at a DAW turns
someone into a sound engineer'. AFAIK, that's not your opinion, nor
did I imply it was.
I used the term 'dumb down' without in any way referring to yourself
or your expressed opinions.
Are you seriously sure? We're in the marketing hype thread which i've
started. ;)
