IMHO making such a matrix is the only good way to
make a decisions of any kind
I disagree here: Session managers have different concepts.
A simple matrix doesn't do it (show it).
IMHO user _experience_ is most important.
1. is it stable and reliable
2. does it do the job
3. behaves it practically (work-flow, feeling, user-interface)
Thus it is best to simply try - a thing that is difficult, as long
as an application is incomplete.
Fortunately NSM and the other SMs have advanced enough to try.
As I did mention, I have a good feeling with NSM
and I'm trusting this thing to become complete.
I think a conceptual analyses is also needed on forehand, without the SM
being complete. You could think of questions like:
* is it (in theory) possible to use it crossplatform,
* is it (in theory) possible to use it without X,
* is it (in theory) possible to use it via the network
* etc
You don't want to support an API which can't run (in theory)
crossplatform. You have some standards a SM should be able to do, like
there is for JACK and all other kinds of stuff.
But I agree, user experience is important too. So Thijs, Louigi, ... ,
did you try it already? What are your experiences?
Thanks for your opinion.
I tend to agree with you and Renato:
rather not make it too complicated,
but usable and reliable.
