@2-3 "knowledgeable" people> For such a poor showing in a community, I'd have not expected FarCry to score within the top 4 in that CFemmy survey, and yet it did ;). It's a good community, that does what it can when it can. Please don't slam the people there as it does not truly reflect that it is a good community.
@bugginess, complexity, etc.> As Geoff has pointed out in the past, the clients that purchase their service also get training. He maintains that the vast majority of all usability issues are best addressed through edification. Once trained, I believe the term he used was they take to it like fish to water. At any rate, it was hashed out in a thread in the groups found here, http://groups.google.com/group/farcry-dev/browse_thread/thread/046831f02c34119a#e97c9780aba77309. Geoff does a much better job of addressing what you brought up. But to address a specific point, where a user deleted a site tree with no error thrown, that's pretty simple to address with permissions from within FarCry. You'd make a new super admin group, and only give this group access to the home node. Then, through training, you'd inform the client that only super admins can touch this node and the ramifications what deleting this node could cause. In my opinion, its a very small nit to pick. I could bring up a command prompt on my windows machine and, provided I was logged in as admin, delete all of the non-locked files from my system drive. Is this the fault of the OS, or does the failure lie with the user? The point of this rambling? I take offense to some of the comments, frankly. The daemonites have always been willing to help out. They've been working extremely hard this past year, to the point where we're seeing two full releases inside the same year. Features such as Formtools (let's you add custom content without having to add edit handlers), improved caching of objects, new workflow states, flex admin components, an upgraded security, and a slew of others have been added. But it still all boils down edification. And that's part of their bread and butter. Would you have that taken way from them? It's free software, to be sure, but very few people in the community actually work on the software. But, this is my opinion, take it as you will. I just don't feel you're statements really reflect fairly on those involved.
