Haha, That was written within very shortly after installing it. Since 
then, the 'annoyances' have elevated themselves to 'extreme 
frustrations', and I've become thoroughly disenfranchised with it - I'm 
restoring my FR back to 2007.2 as I type this...

I maintain that the interface at least is a big leap forward - it's very 
slick and pretty, and it shows alot of promise - once the bugs have been 
worked out to the point where it's on par with 2007.2 for stability, and 
something has been done about the *awful* keyboard, I'll happily go back 
to it.

In the meantime, though, a pretty-looking paperweight has the same 
functionality as an ugly looking one - I'll take usability over eyecandy 
any day...

In my opinion, your opinion is spot on - eyecandy is all well and good 
but making the thing work should be a much higher priority.
