Re: PDM/SEU

Can you send us some of those "_much_ better alternatives"? 

I tried some other editors, and still admire the design of SEU.  They

feel more at home with graphical interfaces, they still can't design a
good application.  

Beautifull graphics are no substitute for study and experience.
