Ones mans circular is another mans intuitive. ;) To me I found the example easy to follow and to duplicate and understand what was going on. That begin said a lot of it is down to putting what you are used to on the shelf for a bit and really diving in. It was only once I did that did I understand just how flexible it is. Your never going to innovate if your always trying to put everything in the same container, or doing things the same way.

I just looked at that growing vine tutorial page and the splash page for the video shows exactly what I personally dislike. Their node connections seem to be really sloppy and IMHO could lead to a confusing mess pretty quickly. They've got connections that make circular loops, so there's no left to right or top to bottom flow like you'd have in pretty much every other node-based system I've used. I mentioned it during Brad's webinar and he kind-of brushed it off, but I find it really distracting. -Paul [https://mailfoogae.appspot.com/t?sender=acGdyaXN3b2xkQGZ1c2lvbmRpZ2l0YWxwcm9kdWN0aW9ucy5jb20%3D&type=zerocontent&guid=9946c821-beb2-437b-88cd-7cbc3c2b43e2]ᐧ <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width:100%;"> <tr> <td align="left" style="text-align:justify;"><font face="arial,sans-serif" size="1" color="#999999"><span style="font-size:11px;">This communication is intended for the addressee only.
