The averages can be seriously biased by uninformed reviews, such as the one recently posted for Onyx. This is especially true for newly released products or versions, when there are not many reviews.

It is important to read the reviews, to make sure that they raise pertinent issues.

Beware of VT's star averages ("This version" and "All Time") - jjjazzz--2008

I would hope that most of the users here are Unix-savvy enough to make informed and valid judgements without having to use an app for a month. You do have a point though about the star averages, though, as they are skewed and flawed seriously by over-zealous cheerleaders or naysayers. Clix went through the same thing, and it's still a good app. Wow, you'd have thought Rixstep had killed the Pope.
