[WT-support] Win-Test does not meet my need!

[John Warburton G4IRN]

Following on from previous posts regarding functionality within Win-test and the development cycle, I further add support to the product roadmap and strategy.

I'd rather have a product that does 75% of what I need 100% of the time, than a product that does 100% of what I need 75% of the time.

Although not overflowing with bells and whistles, the great strengths of Win-test are its usability and its stability. This comes through the developers having a clear vision about what they want the product to be and not jumping to fulfill every request that comes in. Personally I would not support the open source route - that could lead to a situation where the software looses its simplicity and its robustness due to interface complexity and a more frequent change cycle. Actually that reminds me of another logging program that's available.

Also, its quite clear on the web site that payment for the Win-Test license goes towards contest activities - not in the pockets of the developers.

So for me, carry on as you are guys. For the 25% of time when Win-Test doesn't fill my needs, I have found alternative solutions. For the 75% of the time that Win-Test DOES suit my needs, there is no better product.
