Rhino in V8 just stresses me out so much. nothing is in place, half of the stuff is missing, i am running after regular every day tools to be brought back to v7 level for months now with very little feedback to none some times (and i sure am not the only one), not bashing anybody in particular since…

[image] jim: Rhino8 was released with practically no user input. Or to put it more accurately the user input for Rhino8 development was mostly of the form that the Rhino WIP was not functional enough to even test. That’s not accurate for almost all of the features in V8 besides the UI. We h…

[image] Tom_P: I think it was a strategic mistake to not combine the new Mac-UI with some huge technology-step. [image] Steve Baer: There were a number of huge technology changes made in Rhino 8 and many of the user interface issues are bugs that crept in due to these changes. Plus, we…

From what I can see, the majority of Rhino beta testers (QA) are the regular forum members who actively send bug reports to “McNeel”, because their program (or the evaluation version) does not work in the way it’s expected to do. :smiley:

Meanwhile, pure command line users be like [image] Jokes aside, I think this right here is what makes Rhino great, people take the time to report and debate on stuff in the forums, being mostly polite and with the devs taking part in the conversation as well. Yes, the Rhino 8 upgrade was a bit cl…

This thread has reminded me of what I thought many times for many years that McNeel is losing a lot of money by not being open source. Too small to be closed and too modest to not want to absorb pull requests. I know under the hood it’s a mess for legitimate reasons, but I think some part of the app…

[image] Brian Gillespie: I know there are haters here If there are, I’m not one of them. It aint about hate, it’s about disappointments and dismay. Not to be maudlin, but I love my Rhino and I’ll be forever grateful it was made available on my Mac!

[image] Altamiro A J: Meanwhile, pure command line users be like… Yeah, I was a little surprised at how salty people are getting, until I realised I probably don’t see most of the problems because I don’t have tool palettes. Actually, my favorite R8 feature so far is that I can display OSnap…

Forking! The biggest reason to not open-source is Forking! Every Tom, Dick, Jackson, and Emil, have a ‘Better Idea’ about how things ought to be - and most of them are afu. But they would certainly love to Fork it all up!

A while back Serif decided to modernize it’s software. Within about 18mo they went for a clunky UI to a fully modern Affinity Designer / Affinity Photo that works on both Mac and PC, has a unified look, a docking system that works well, very little to no glitches and all that within 200Mb of disk sp…
