Reply To: I know, I know!… But I just need to know, Zynewave!

I have to say without a doubt on many occasions too numerous to mention, Frits has gone way beyond what I personally expected from him to accommodate user requests (mine included). Honestly he has to be one of the most responsive devs out there. It would get very messy indeed if promises were made and not kept.

Anyone would likely get upset if they are told x and y happens. It would not be a pleasant situation for the customer or dev promising such things. Better to leave things open ended IMO.

There may be less info on what is coming next or what areas will be worked on for certain but I think it is a far better thing to operate within the limits of your capabilities as a dev.

I have seen some forums where promises are made and not kept…it’s not a pretty sight. I personally prefer to have little or no info (if that is what the dev is comfortable with) and have my expectations at a reasonable level that matches the devs.

I think that will create a nice halfway house between the devs attempts to please as many customers as possible and the customers attempt to gauge what is coming next in a reasonable way.

This is just my 2 cents on the matter and my opinion only. Apologies in advance if it upsets anyone. I doubt it will frankly and would be surprised if it did but just in case. Peace 🙂
