" I consider all our users to be somehow part of our project and am agnostic about the interface they are using. From how I see it, if PyQtVCP does something better than QtVCP then QtVCP gets some encouragement and ideas on how to improve and vice versa. Both GUIsshould be as easy to install and use as possible. Neither QtVCP nor QtPyVCP are GUIs, they are infrastructure for creating GUIS. I would think that most users will use neither, they will just use the GUIs that have been developed."
