Don't get me wrong - I'm very much in favor of everybody switching to RDi - the tools have to make money if we are to see progress. But enabling SEU and not WDSC in my opinion was a poor choice. To enable WDSC to use the RDi syntax checker/verifier should have been a trivial task the two tools are fundamentally the same. Updating it for SEU was almost certainly a lot more more work.
Love the sentiment, don't much care for the delivery. Here's why: do you think your complaints here will get WDSC updated? If so, then please start a grass roots campaign to get that done. Put your name on it, and get 'er done. Otherwise, you're simply playing to the negative side of the audience. IMO, your position in the community gives you a certain responsibility to do something positive. Now, that doesn't mean toe the line. An honest movement to get a change in WDSC is good, and I'd support you 100%. However, complaining here about the awful IBM job has done isn't constructive.

And that's all I'm gonna say on the subject.
