RE: [WDSCI-L] Removing a plug-in

[Colin Williams <colin.williams@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mark,

My point was not balancing up what was a more high priority fix

My point was that saying a bug/design flaw may or may not be fixed in a
future release is an acceptable answer.

Saying that a bug/ design flaw will not be fixed until the developers of the
underlying open source product see fit to do so is not really acceptable in
a commercial product.

The reason we buy commercial products is for the features but also for the
support

cheers

Picture my hands doing a "balancing scale" effect ...

Make editor better  ....  allow users to remove plugins
Make editor better  ....  allow users to remove plugins
Make editor better  ....  allow users to remove plugins
Make editor better  ....  allow users to remove plugins
Make editor better  ....  allow users to remove plugins
Make editor better  ....  allow users to remove plugins

Not a hard decision.
