that's a misconception. Open Source has more advantages for the users than for the developers. Contrast the history of Freehand [0] with that of Blender [1] and think of the users who have spent hours/days/week to develop expertise in Freehand and what their time-investment is worth now. > Normal user will not want to go and add %p %o %s in autopano-sift > parameters for multirow pano. He will want to just load pics and get pano Your definition of 'normal' reflects your wishes. Hugin is for every user what they make it for themselves and there is no such thing as a 'normal user'. The best matching products for a user with the wish described above is Autopano Pro. "Just load pics and get pano". No other software known to me, commercial or Free, matches this sentence better than Autopano Pro. It was designed with exactly this use case in mind. > I hope in one year time it will at par > with commercial softwares. I do not like comparisons. That said, depends on what you measure, Hugin is already "at par" with commercial software on some metrics. On other metrics it is "ahead" and on other metrics it is "behind". The question is: which metric is more important to you. If it is an automated process with as little human intervention as possible, go with Autopano Pro - it is ahead and will stay ahead for many years to come. If your metric is "detailed and precise assisted control of image placement on the panosphere or on the mosaic plane", Hugin is ahead. It all depends on what your need is. If you need to drive fast from A to B, why torture yourself with a bus when you can have a sportscar? on the other hand, if you need to get a lot of gear from A to B, why torture yourself with a sportscar when you can have a truck? Rather than setting yourself up for disappointment, choose the right tool for you. > I am a windows user and I feel there is lack of technical resource person > for windows users.

But they have to deal with issues that are solved automatically by more efficient platforms. I can tell from my own experience that building and packaging Hugin for Windows was much more painful than doing it it for Kubuntu. That said, I am not advocating that you shift to Ubuntu. Use what works best in your situation.
