   Reviewing 0.47 Final (Nov 25, 2009)

   This is getting quite unbelievably good. It doesn't quite have the polish of Illustrator but the actual functionality and the way it's designed is in many ways better IMHO. AND it runs in any of the major operating systems. AND it's free!
   
   A truly remarkable project.

   Reviewing 0.47pre3 Beta (Oct 2, 2009)

   Gezley: Go ahead and flag the review. The opinion still stands regardless. Oh, and BTW, I'm not "white". I think foreigners' software is fantastic (which is why I've beta-tested dozens of programs over the years written by Europeans such as RAR and MyDefrag). Grab a tissue and read the review for what it is rather than inventing something it isn't.
   
   Second Shadow: OMFG. *8-) Thanks for helping with traffic to my site! Once again, the opinion stands. This program is a bloated pile of convoluted rubbish - way too many cooks spoiled the broth - I'll bet they could save several megabytes off the install by simply removing the 'about screen' code. But thanks for ending your "masturbatory response" (this descriptive phrase is courtesy of gcaleval) with a review of the program itself, at least. You should teach Mr Caleval that technique - go check out the Notepad++ review thread for details.

   @ gezley:
   
   Yes, that's probably what Dean-Ryan Stone (a.k.a. "dhry") meant when he wrote that. After all, everyone just *knows* that a program written by a John Smith is much better than a program written by some poor guy by the name of Sanjiv Sindhu (or something like that, I can't be bothered with spelling non-English names), right? RIGHT?
   Apparently, Dean-Ryan also likes to make fun of people whose native language is not English when they attempt to write in English, as shown in his website: http://www.dhryland.com/...t.y=0&submit=Search
   However, I've yet to find a post by dhry written in a language other than English. I wonder if he's monolingual.
   Oh, by the way, English *is* my second language, so feel free to criticize my grammar and spelling all you want. just make sure you do it in a language other than your native one, that'd be too easy ;)
   
   As for the program (this is a software review after all), it's simply excellent. Steve Lawson has written a nice overview of it with a few helpful links, check it out: http://reddevil62-techhead.blogspot.com/2009/02/graphic-design-for-clueless.html

   It says "with capabilities similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, Visio, etc."
   
   Yeah right, in your dreams maybe.

   @ dhry:
   
   What do you mean when you say the following:
   
   The last chuckle I got was from the "about" screen, where the list of software authors is not only twice as long as that in Photoshop's startup dialog, but only about three of the names don't risk your tongue turning into a pretzel if you were to attempt to pronounce them.
   
   Is it that you have some sort of problem with software developers who don't have a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant [WASP] surname? Do you think foreigners write inferior software? Unless you provide an adequate answer to these questions I shall be asking Fileforum to consider withdrawing this review of yours as a veiled racist attack on the software developers. And no, I'm not some politically-correct loon. Just someone who takes issue with people who aren't brave enough to state their prejudices in plain English.
