Oz, I think open source developers will naturally spend most of their time working on the viewer they use most. And there are problems with 2.0 that for me are much more insurmountable than just changes to muscle memory: * Modal UI. Enough was said about this already. * Most important for me, I just can't read the fonts in 2.0 without straining. UI Widgets are too big and fonts are too small, for any UI size setting that leaves a bit of 3d-world visible. I guess I am in the minority here (having bad eyesight,) but I think this is a big minority group of existing and potential SL users that would simply write off 2.0 as unusable. Yes, there are improvements in 2.0 as well, but I can't enjoy them.

Yes please! I wonder, can we flex the rule about contributor agreement for patches backporting code that was originally written by linden lab? -- Thickbrick _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
