Following recent suggestions for additions to Legacy I received the email
below from a long standing user of Legacy. As his views broadly speaking
reflect mine I thought members of LUG may be interested in an alternative
perspective.

Subject : RE: [LegacyUG] Publishing Center suggestion ...
I've been a LEGACY user / supporter since their first version in the
early
'90s and am always amazed with how ... in every new version ... they
are adding more and more "features" to what SHOULD be a Family History /
Genealogy program ... mainly to satisfy people who don't want to ( or
are
unable to ) use / invest in a word processor, photo editing, etc. etc.,
program(s), but are always "demanding" that tools like those be added to
the
program. All the arguments about being "needed" and / or ( maybe ) useful
might be valid for some, but just tend to clutter up and detract from the
programs intended function ... that of a Genealogy program.
All the postings on the users group site tend to reflect that by all the
"confusion" all these additions are causing.
I am not subscribed to the list, because I got tired of reading all the
"wish list" and endless complaints because "something can't be figured
out"
postings ... I periodically read the list archives and find many of the
postings borderline comical.
It makes me wonder how these people even find time to actually DO any
Family
History research, and what they would do if they had to use the "old"
before
computers pencil, paper, phone, and mail method of research.
Please ... leave the program as it's intended to be!
