Always whining...

Posted by: Anonymous Coward on April 27, 2004 12:32 AM

When an interface from an existing application is used to code a program from scratch, people argue

1) It is a clone, not original, copycat;
2) The interface is convenient.
>> Example: LPhoto, AMSN, XPde, LSongs.

When an original, non-standard interface is used it is called

1) Innovative;
2) The interface is hard to use.
>> Example: Blender, The GIMP, Enlightenment.

Because of that, people always find a reason to whine.

FYI: it still requires creativity to CODE the application. It just requires less RESEARCH for the INTERFACE.
