Yes, but it is always a "Love Fest" in the beginning...then events follow a naturally prgression turning to hate. It is easy to love a product that doesn't exist. You mind imagines all the good things and doesn't think of any bad things.

I think the challenge is equally difficult on any platform. I think it is probably easy to create a basic charting program...but then add
-ability to import data from a variety of sources
-100 indicators
-ability to test a system
-a language for non-programmers to write code
-order warnings in real time
and the million other features and the project grows exponentially

Again, he still is vaporware. He may release a great product, but he will have a hard time making a living at it. There are about 20 people from his group that will buy is software...then what? Then he has to
-buy ads in magazines
-buy ads in newspapers
-go to tradeshows and promise more vapor
and market it.
If you build, they will not come.
