Let me 1st just say that, I agree 100% with your comments and truly appreciate your insights in the software development arena.
However, IMHO there are two exceptions.
1. If a competitor is offering the feature, then it would be in the best interest for Mixvibes to at least look into implementing the feature in order to remain competitive.
2. if there is a change in the GUI that changes what was already developed and published, perhaps a selector option should be available.
For #2 and in my case, I am talking about
A. The deck waveforms - Which were reduced in vertical size from version 2.6 to 3.X. (Not that big of a deal for me as I am slowly getting used to).
B. The new way of displaying video- From 2.6 to 3.X . IMHO the 3.X may suit some users but it is also very inefficient when it comes to screen real state to display the collection. (not a deal breaker either as I just change to collection view when I am doing my selections)
C. The beatmacher rendering- IMHO 3.X way of rendering the beatmacher is noisy, unclear and not well marked as far as the beatmarkers. I have posted many threads on this issue and it is truly a dealbreaker for me. So I am stuck using 2.6 and missing out in all the worderful new features that 3.X has to offer because the change was made and there is not a good option available to render the beatmacher with better markers.
To this point some may argue that I could use legacy rendering option. That point would be valid if legacy rendering was as good as it was with the 2.6 way of rendering the beatmatcher but as it is right now it is not good enought.
To summarize: Not having a good option for the marking and rendering of the beatmacher is a deal breaker for me and now I am one feature away from jumping. Either one of two things are going to happen. Either Mixvibes fixes the beatmacher or the other DJ software company will come up with the feature that is missing (which Cross/Cross DJ already have). Then it will be desicion time.
