No, you didn't. (none of your 4 points contained anything about
complaining, at least not without whining in another place than
this forum, whatever the point of doing that is). But its good to see that
you might agree that complaining might be a good thing though...
single post in this thread that had a single
constructive piece of
advice on how to correct the perceived problems with Ardour. It is OK
to tell them you are not satisfied with it but how about asking for
specific fixes to specific problems?
No, there have been constructive posts here. Just look at Traverso, which
was the start of this discussion. Traverso has many nice ideas. Thats
constructive, and Thorsten also seemed to agree that a couple of things in
traverso is very nice.
The impression I get from your (and some others) posts here though, is
that if you say antyhing negative about ardour, someone will
answer with large emotional posts how great ardour is. And thats _not_
constructive. But I agree, ardour is great, but I also think it could be
much better, and I think people should be encouraged to say what they
think about it and not be afraid of being flamed for doing so. I have a
feeling there might be a little bit of group thinking going on here about
ardour, and in case there is, thats _very bad_.
Not true! I only get really pissed off if anyone says anything
negative about JAMin ;-) Actually, I like constructive criticism. My
problem with this thread is that the subject was never approached with a
"gee, wouldn't it be nice if Ardour..." attitude. It was basically
"Ardour sucks and everything else is much better". When I see that type
of criticism my response is usually - either do better or go elsewhere.
I have a great deal of respect for Paul Davis and the rest of the Ardour
crew so I don't really appreciate people bad mouthing them or saying
that their efforts are crap. If someone wants to make things better
they need to provide useful input. If you enjoy receiving garbage like
most of what has been presented in this thread then more power to you.
I will continue to be annoyed by ungrateful whiners.
