Nice piece of software. Looks like it is based on the Eclipse IDE (which is something I appreciate).-Shades (February 08, 2009, 05:10 PM)
When you make such software, how long will it then take for the big software players to gobble up your talent? So let them buy you out after some, enjoy life from the interest those millions generate. By know you are in the ideal position to not care about who prefers whatever.I never wanted to work in a big software company. I'm basically a (would-be) scientist who just wrote an utility to better manage his science-related resources and who then decided to share his work with others. And I do care about the needs of my users, because for me, Open Source is basically some sort of "charity".
Your mind is too many steps ahead at this moment ;)-Shades (February 08, 2009, 05:10 PM)
