Re: [Finale] EPS support (and other things)

[Aaron Sherber]

As a WinFin2004 user, what bothers me the most about these Mac problems 
(which are rather serious) is that Coda will probably decide to work on 
them before they get around to fixing all of the bugs that were introduced 
in the Windows version! I have a terrible feeling, looking at the calendar, 
that many of the things we've all been complaining about won't be fixed 
before Fin2005 -- which, of course, we'll have to pay for again.

This situation brings to mind the Borland development tool Delphi. The 
first 3 versions were powerful tools and very well received, but v4, which 
introduced lots of "pretty" features and was somewhat rushed to marked in 
order to meet a shipping schedule, was very poorly received by the Delphi 
faithful on account of the numerous bugs and shortcomings which persisted 
even after a couple of maintenance releases. In response, Borland issued 
what amounted to a public apology, admitting the problems with v4 and 
re-committing themselves to releasing a solid, quality product. We did 
still have to pay for v5, but it was a rock solid product that also 
delivered new functionality.

I wouldn't mind seeing Coda take a similarly forthcoming position about the 
problems with Finale.

Aaron.
