Re: RDi vs SEU

This would be me. I am one of these people. Prying coding sheets away from me was tough. I still know exactly where my coding template card is, even after 5 moves and 25+ years. I went to code/400 because 300 baud modems were even slower.

RDi's first 2 days learning curve is irritating but even I did it. After that it fast becomes real fun.

It may very well be a case of not

being able to please everyone, but if it is, then why do colleagues
sound like this (15+ years and counting):

Me: Try RDi; man I love this thing!
X: I heard it was bloatware
Me: Did YOU try it?
X: I heard it was buggy
Me: Did you TRY it?
X: I heard it needs a cutting edge PC
Me: DID YOU TRY it?
X: It costs too much
Me: Did you ask the boss if he'd spend the money?
X: I just know he'll say no
Me: So you won't bother asking the boss?
X: I heard the learning curve was awful
Me: So... you're not going to install the free trial?
X: SEU is faster
Me: And you know this because you've tried it?
X: Y tried it in 2001 and the installer was awful
Me: So... multiple reasons why SEU is better yet you yourself have not
actually tried it?
X: I don't need to try it. SEU is fine.
