I. I. Ooisen writes: No, it's not *mostly* because of anything. The world is not black and white. Different people have different reasons for not using a particular piece of software. This is not the first time that the original developer of Noteedit's decision to stop working on it has been discussed here. If you'd checked the list archives, you'd have found that it's come up here in several threads (some of them fairly long) in the last year and a half. Jörg Anders has every right to cease development on Noteedit for whatever reason he wishes, just as every user has the right to decide for themselves whether they wish to use it. But the suggestion that you've made, and that Jörg makes in his FAQ, that people are somehow "ignoring" the application strikes me as just, well, *really bizarre*. Some people haven't used it because they don't know about it. Some people haven't used it because know about it, but have no need for it. Some people haven't used it because they know about it, but don't like it. Some people haven't used it because they know about it, but there's some other software package that does what they want that they like more. None of those things constitute "ignoring" Noteedit. If you like the software a lot, and want to encourage others to give it a try, that's great -- but you may wish to consider that yelling at people (cf. your subject line) rarely works. -c
