- There certainly are more important things to implement than "GUI-Cosmetica", but:
-
- * PageStream isn't just a little hack for freaks, where the user-interface isn't
- that important.
-
- * Settings the labels to left-aligned etc. doesn't require a mayor program-rewrite
- (as I assume) but helps to improve the product "on the fly".
-
- * In fact, usability >is< important and GUI-Design is a major factor in making
- a program usable.
-
- * PageStream 3 shall be portet to Macintosh, where users usually are more aware
- of Design-Flaws.
-

- The argument "No program is perfect.." seems a little strange to me. With this in
- mind, Soft-Logik could have stopped development with the release of PS 3.0,
- because other applications are slow and crash too...
