That doesn't seem entirely fair. My guess is that they have been forced to fit in with Apple's sandboxing, which has forced them to change the way their SDK and Growl communicate, which has forced them into network coding. And network coding is hard - there is a reason so many cloud and data sharing systems have come and gone, with endless stories of data corruption. Networking code and Threading are two of the hardest programming problems, and they inevitably go hand in hand as you can't expect a network connection to respond immediately, even a local network connection. I agree, Growl is at its worst state it has been in for years, and the timing sucks, but for some of that you can blame Apple for forcing sandboxing and other restrictions on the Mac App Store, which took the time frame out of developers hands. Certainly I hope things in Growl land improve soon - I'm terrified to ship the next bugfix version of Keyboard Maestro with the new Growl SDK - but to say to developers who have worked on a free product for years before asking for a measly couple bucks that "they just don't care" is not fair. IMHO anyway. Peter. -- Keyboard Maestro 5.3 now available - new image actions, enhanced Mouse Click action and more.
