I'm not saying "don't" - manuals and other resources are helpful
and I use
them too, but it's not the first thing I do when exploring applications.
An application that doesn't attend to the GUI may create
the impression that internals might be equally messed up.
or that it is written to be used in an unusual way - maybe because its
purpose is not similar to a word processor or a spreadsheet so its interface
may not be familiar - take Blender,
Blender very much attended to the UI, but it's a program
where you're likely to be lost without manual.
yes, one crashed immediately - not a good sign. Either the app was not good,
or it was not properly installed on your system, did you ever find out
which?
AFAIKT it was a bug in the application. (what else)
I tried a different version with equal issue.
I couldn't wait for that to become fixed
and generally tend to mistrust apps (claimed stable) that crash.
