not to me: -- power always goes to those that actually write the code -- as far as I can recall, there has never been a large group of folks contributing to the core code so have a company being the primary contributor and decision maker is no different that what we've always had -- particularly when Travis pretty much single-handedly re-factored Numeric to give us numpy. Oh -- one difference -- having a company with more that one coder means more code! If continuum does indeed develop a bloated, ugly mess to meet their client's needs -- none of us have to use it. -Chris > But maybe it's the best way.
