Web2 Delight 1.1.90 (Mac OS X)
quick |kwik|
adjective
1 moving fast or doing something in a short time : some children are particularly quick learners
• happening with little or no delay: prompt : children like to see quick results from their efforts.
look |loŏk|
verb [ intrans. ]
1 direct one's gaze toward someone or something or in a specified direction : people were looking at him | they looked up as he came quietly into the room.
• ( look at/on) think of or regard in a specified way : I look at tennis differently from some coaches.
• ( look at) examine (a matter, esp. a problem) and consider what action to take : a committee is looking at the financing of PBS.
I have no idea where the developers picked up their notion on what QuickLook is but the feature the application labels "quicklook" is anything but! [alert admin]

Leap 1.0.6 (Mac OS X)
Leap looks and feels like a heavy duty file search, tag and management tool, unfortunately it performs as quite the opposite. Leap fails miserably at offering a more powerful management utility. The price tag would be borderline questionable for caliber applications much less this flopware. Both Filespot and HoudahSpot deliver much more powerful search capabilities for a fraction of the price. Actually, Leopard's Finder enables more powerful searches than Leap for no extra cost. I wonder if the developers are even aware of Leopard's default search capabilities-otherwise why would anyone develop a tool that doesn't even rival the Finder much less surpass it. [alert admin]

Selenium 3.0 (Mac OS X)
Interface nightmares & horrendous cross-feature integration 
I don't have the time to count the ways in which the graphical user interface of this thing is wacked. Buttons overlap with menus when the window is reduced to a certain size, the dictionary field won't accept the cursor all the time, nor will it fold up as easily as the other text tools. Block, square inches from one window pane will appear empty and reappear somewhere else on the application, ad infinitum. Additionally, cross-feature integration is terrible, for instance, select some text and then check out your context menu (or lack thereof!). Key commands for copying selected text to an outline field or an open text doc? Nope. Populate URL list with current web page's URL? Sorry. I could go on, but just don't have the time to waste, especially after the time I wasted trying this bummer out. While this sounded delightful, it revealed itself to be an absolute albatross.

MenuCalendarClock for iCal 3.1 (Mac OS X)
What in the name happened to this thing? All of the sudden I have a fat MenuCal icon cluttering up my dock where as once upon a time there was not one. Is this some sort of App-Ego or something? As I habitually use ⌘Tab to switch between applications, I absolutely abhor dock clutter. Unfortunately for MenuCalendarClock our office has a strict zero-tolerance policy when it comes to small, utilitarian, menubar items that want to try and hang out in the dock with the big dogs. It's definitely time that MenuCalendarClock is disassociated from ⌘Tab and introduced to ⌘DEL. Definitely pass on this one. [alert admin]

Spaces.. Spaces.. Spaces.. 1.0 (Mac OS X)
Could anyone please enlighten me as to any sort of situation this would benefit? At first glance this sounds like it undermines part of Spaces main purpose. I bank on Spaces switching to the space that presents the Application whose window I want to focus. If I switch to a different window in the same application, a window that I've placed on a different Space, I expect Spaces to switch over there. Either I really missed the boat on this one or the developer did. My apologies if it's me. [alert admin]

AudioCodex 0.94b (Mac OS X)
Took me for a ride again, shame on me.
Due to the most recent developer comments I decided to give audiocodex the benefit of the doubt and give it one more solid beta-try. That turned out to be a full-fledged waste of time when after five-minutes of tailoring the finest custom playlist an audiophile could wish for, audiocodex took it upon itself to change the name of recently added tracks to the names of tracks I had added prior. So instead of a stellar tracklist, I had duplicates of some songs partnered with the disappearance of others. Looks like I’m the idiot in this case for falling under the developers distortion field. In the future, I would urge developers to refrain from concocting sleight of hand comments in an attempt to defend their products inadequacies. Let the software speak for itself, which in this case, compared to most other beta experiences, is consistently lackluster. Bugs don’t improve, they just cycle around to different features all of the time. As unfortunate as it is, this application turns out to be only as good as it’s weakest link, leaving this gizmo utterly fractured. “Developers who know, do not speak. Developers who speak, do not know..” [alert admin]

I dug down into the hidden comments and found the reasons behind the "why" for some users. I guess if that's what works for you then cheers. IMHO that adds an extra step to utilizing Spaces, yet at the same time, I "get" what the purpose of Spaces.. Spaces.. Spaces.. is. Any reason in particular that actual ellipses weren't used in the name, in other words is there significance behind the two periods? i.e. Spaces……
