I don't think we miss the point, but rather we have different priorities. I
would love it if VueScan had a better (and more Mac like) interface, but
given the choice between improving the guts of VueScan or the interface, I
will take the guts anytime. Especially since I can work around the portions
of the interface I don't like. If the raw scan is bad there is no work
around. Ed could hire 5 programmers to assist him, spend 6 months getting
them up to speed before getting anything useful out of them, and raise the
price of VueScan from $40 to $400, but I think it would kill VueScan.
I will soon have a brand new computer and am looking into new scanners, both
35 mm film and flatbed. I would much rather Ed support my next scanners
with an adequate interface than not support my scanners with the worlds best
interface. I will be very interested to hear when VueScan will support
FireWire scanners running under MacOS X.
