I don't think he can even use "much improved"...
I concur with his response. why? We have yet to see the new release. Hard to say it is a fail before we even see it.
why...?
You can always improve something, so you mean it's almost perfect if you say that?
If you meant it the other way, you got it wrong.
No offense intended, and you are doing a great job with it as is, but your using the wrong tool to do this job. The programming language you choose (because it is what you know) is not suited for this kind of program. It is like using a spanner in place of an impact wrench. Sure it will do the job, but with lost of wasted effort in the process. You are doing a great job with your spanner though.
Also, it would be much easier to take the benchmark seriously if you would not keep changing the point scale with every release. Look at the great benchmarks out there. Their points stay about the same with each new release.
Another thing that may make it easier for everyone involved, from you and Jason, to the people benching, if you would set a stable release schedule and
stick to it. Once every three months might be good, or maybe take a page from Ubuntu and do a semiannual release. Just support and patch the current version as needed, and only intro new features to new releases.
Its amazing how people can nit pick (to find insignificant details of something unsatisfactory, often unjustifiably) the crap out of something just for the sake of a argument. I understood what you meant.
I am trying to help him get better at english dude. Something more people should do. This is because I am quite tired (and he did not do this, but using correct vocab can be important) of people that "Ain't got no ..."
