I think the multitude of polls on the subject makes it clear that many, many people just hate the UI but would be perfectly fine back-porting some of the features (web-on-a-prim, tattoos, etc) to 1.x.
In fact, when I last used 2.0, I got what we epileptics call an "aura", which is a warning sign that a seizure is coming. I had to close the app and take an extra dose of my medication to avoid the seizure. Therefore, it's just not a possibility for me to use. I realize LL has been working on 2.0's UI, removing the "squish" effect of the sidebar that may have caused many epileptics to report auras or seizures, but I think it would be safer for me to just stay away from 2.0. I would, after all, like to be able to use my driver's license this summer. :| Fred Rookstown On Thu, 2010-05-27 at 17:50 -0400, Oz Linden (Scott Lawrence) wrote: > I opened this in the 27 May IW open source meeting, and would like to > invite wider and more specific feedback. > > It's fairly clear that Linden Lab doesn't have the resources to devote > to active work on both Snowglobe 1.x and 2.x, and it's not efficient for > the community as a whole to be splitting effort. > > I'd like to fairly quickly get to the point where all our new work is > happening on the 2.x branch.
