people don't understand that acqualite simply took acquisition's source, and removed the registration nag. That's all they did. They didn't write it, didn't put an ounce of effort into it. This is the best file sharing app for the mac because it gets the most files and they are successful. The author is constantly coming up with new features, features that you won't find in aqualite because aqualite doesn't really have "developers", and the source code to the version with previews/etc hasn't been released. This is a model app for Mac OS X; stable, great UI, frequent updates, and it works. Ignorant people post reviews based on their take of the authors personality. And with the review's I've read, I can see why he might act like a dlck to some of you—because you deserve it.

Acqlite is based on open source code. I can understand your rash rationalizations however, it supports one side of the argument only, because I am sure you are partial to Acquisition.To have a truly parallel argument...
You assume because they have put less effort and time into it that it is not a worthwhile product. Presumably the author of Acqlite (free) has put less work into that program than the author of Acquisition. But the authors of the source code (Limewire) that both powers the heart of both programs has put in even more hours, days, and years. Based on your train of thought LimeWire should be the program we all support and kick Acqlite and Acquisition to the curb, except that... we don't.
Perhaps the other users with differing opinions from yours are not the ones that are ignorant.

of course it is entirely possible he meant actual ignorant reviews based on the developer's personality, instead of the actual product. i don't think he's calling users of acqlite ignorant.Wednesday, April 21 2004 @ 01:17 AM PDT
a JERK, as always - Soul of Wit
I'm sorry, but reviews of customer support are valid. The developer is not user friendly. Many users will never have any reason to contact the developer. That fact, however, does NOT make reviewers of such contact ignorant.Wednesday, April 21 2004 @ 08:01 PM PDT
