Exactly.
Working for a tv station, I'm constantly amazed at the ultra-expensive crap
that we have to deal with, just to get a simple still-graphic to air
(usually an apology, I'm sure you've all seen them on tv). Stuff like Oxtel
and Aston doesn't deserve to be in the position they're in, as they're so
clumsy to use it's not funny. I'm sure there are loads of ex-amiga
graphicians who would love some common-sense usability in their lives
again.
