enmane:
I have some sympathy with what you say.  In a recent discussion on the user
forums there was a wide consensus that the graphing module badly lets down the
suite.  Ther eare big problems with graphical editing too because too many
"modes" of selection with different functions are available.  After all, by the
21st Century there is no shortage of past products to act as "prototypes" for an
improved experience.

I do not know that I would have used such colourful language. It is never good
to alienate ones friends.   But I do think that there is an issue of culture
here, and perhaps it is a model for the general decline of Sun in the hardware
and customer base as well.  If I were in corporate control I think that I would
want to re-establish the focus on users rather than developers.  But the malaise
is also in the marketing and specification.  Between 1.0 and 2.0 we have seen
the rise of the "me too" style of marketing, trying ever harder to emulate a
competing product.  There is no attempt to go beyond what the market already has
and create a new impetus to switch because of innovation.  

So, SUn, here is a metaphor for your whole operation.  Remember the slogan:
Innovate or die!
