I think the biggest issue is that the world does not need another stand alone application that we all need to maintain that already does what is already being done. Especially one that does not handle their repositories correctly (see my other UNANSWERED posting regarding signing keys not being supplied) and is not in the standard repositories of any major Linux distro. Co-operation always works better than isolation. I realize that you application has additional features, but why are you re-inventing a wheel that works perfectly to add features on... instead of just adding on.

And now, the real issues comes out. You guys are now finding out why Java never replaced C++ as a cross platform language... it does not work with anything else. As a matter of fact, both Python and Ruby make better cross platform programming languages than Java does. Both of these languages can embrace and extend the existing C code, as well as use the native fonts on the system.

I am finding that the Linux version of the product is looking pretty awful compared to native applications, and as a Linux user, I am not used to as much spit and polish as a Windows user would, let along a Mac user.

I can't speak for others, but I am loosing confidence in the YuuGuu team to deliver on the promise of a great idea.
