Out of interest, how many of those have you moved to use the 7 engine?

I have no interest in lamenting here. I do admire the job that has been done since the kickstarter and all the new shiny stuff like widgets looks rather good. Still there are areas where 7 is just not ready for prime time. I guess we will get there, especially seeing how responsive the folks at RR are at the moment. The more importance I see in openly discussing the issues we encounter. I think it does not help to point out that the current state works for others. It is more helpful to try to help identifying the areas where there are issues which I believe aren’t that many anymore (sort, filter and maybe rendering speed on high density displays), however for a certain amount of apps being built that handful of things are real showstoppers.

Best,

Malte
