Sorry to all those i hurt the heart recommending a short term solution for
the original poster.

I think the pragmatism is very good but for some situations is enemy
of practicality (or how to hell *practicidad* be in english).

Yes, I've tested (because I've worked in software architecture last ~10
years and it's my core knowledge and the works I do every day): I started
with Umbrello and Dia years, then I've tested online and new resourses
like, and during there years I discovered that EA,  FOR ME, (***FOR ME,
like all people that writes an email writes in their opinion not as the
supreme true in the universe***) is the soft that acomplished my needs, but
it does not mean I not support free tools, reporting bugs, collaborate and
spread in college classes. And not mean that I integrate the the other free
apps.

I did not know you could get to be a reactive, sarcastic, and tasteless
response. For it was with good intentions, but it seems slow prefer
collaboration instead of a rich debate on what can be better. The best is
relative to each person, and although we are in the context of this list, I
think you as an advocate of the open, you should be more open.

In any case if the response is not helpful to the person who posted, he
will tell.

Maybe he tell us the first response helps him and ignore others responses,
and problem resolved or maybe he try EA and resolve his problem and then
look for similar soft.

I understand what you say, as you should also try to understand what I said.

Thank you and I hope you understand the intent of the message.
