Just because *you* wouldn't use it, doesn't mean it's crap... |

Just because *you* wouldn't use it, doesn't mean you have to badmouth it. |

You seem to forget people spend time creating these great programs at no cost. |
19 |
You don't insult the program, you insult the people behind it. |

|
21 |
But even worse is that you based your *opinion* on a screenshot and the |
22 |
dependencies without even touching the program... and then tell the whole |
23 |
world it sucks. |

If that's not an insult, I don't know what is... |

Voicing an opinion is fine, but keep in mind that it *requires* you to have |
28 |
decent arguments to back you up, and it does *not* give you the right to be |
29 |
rude. If you feel the need to express thoughts outside that box, you should |
30 |
take them somewhere else. Cause I don't think the members of this list have |
31 |
any need for meaningless statements like that. |

Amarok is not a replacement, amarok is an alternative, which is exactly what |
38 |
this thread is about. If you compare them as equals your statement holds |
39 |
truth, *nobody* would argue that. |
