Quote - > Quote - The one thing that gripes me and others too (applies to other software like ZBrush) is they are not taking time to fix the bugs and POLISH the program before moving to another version with added features. At this point I think they REALLY need to stop and fix all the outstanding issues and tweak how some things are done before any more versions.
I couldn't agree more. I think it's expected from any software that updates will introduce new bugs, and I understand that. The main issue I find with e-on is that the new bugs introduced seem so bizarre; why, for example, did the 7.4 update stop preferences from being saved? The only answers I can come up with are either poor programming and quality control, or (which is my guess) the Vue code is now so convoluted that making one change has the tendency to break something else completely unrelated. Either way, it doesn't inspire confidence.
Personally I won't be upgrading to v8. My Vue experience stops with 7.4.
I completely disagree. I have very little problems with Vue 7.5. For me, the existing features are 'polished' enough, I just want to have more and more features. I prefer to have one or the other bug (I don't have any serious bug outstanding right now) and have a quick rhythm of upgrades and new features. Reason is simple: more features means more creative power and that, for me, is far more important than one or two bugs.
Bugs don't stop me from creating but the lack of a feature I need could stop me from creating an image burning in my mind to get out.
