Thanks Tomasz for the very comprehensive reply. I bought Amibroker
knowing it would have a longer learning curve for me than some of the
competition. I went in with my eyes open, that's what the trial is
for. I have no regrets, and slowly but surely I am adapting various
AFLs to do what I want. I don't believe any other product comes close
for continuing improvements and support. What other software would
give such a helpful response, and coming direct from the developer
rather than some remote helpdesk you know you can trust the answer.
I am amazed at the patience you show with some of the criticism you
get. If someone doesn't need a new feature, like the wizard, then
they can just ignore it. I don't know how long it took you to write,
but I know you are still coming up with more new features with each
release than probably all your competitors combined.
Carry on just as you are. Amibroker is the best.
