HOLY @#$% thats a long post eh! anyways eon has pissed me off too but to make up for that they have helped me out as soon as they could, and must I say that exceeded my expectations from eon. Eon has created something different.I agree with the photoshop example or windows example. Wait till eon comes out with vue 7 or 10/12 ANYTHING, they are stepping into big industry and 10-15yrs are needed to make a solid bug free software. I can assure you that by vue6 or 7 it will be 99.9% bug free since there is never 100%. Steve and Amanda from eon are cool, they help me out. In otyher words vue is getting there, give it some time and also eon isn't BIG like adobe or microsoft, so don't expect it to be a corporation.
