For afficionado's of Developer One's Agenda Fusion... There's a right old row going on in the Developer One Forums.
A whole host of users are up in arms that updates have been infrequent and are much needed to finish an application that was "released too early" is "full of bugs" and by the sounds of it is only half-cooked:
"Look at the Project View in AF7 - sorry but that's not a finished product and yet it has not been improved since May (over three months). Virtually none of the suggestions that AF 7 users have made have seen the light of day." Cites one Fusion customer.
ANd if you dig around for long enough and hunt through the threads you'll notice ther may be something of a can of worms that'll have our friends at WEBIS reaching for the champagne and toasting their success. In another disgruntled users words:
".........what is one fee paying customer to deduce ?
* No updates for ages
* Poor online support in the forums - just glib, window dressing replies when someone can be bothered to read the postings left by users
* Tacit admission that everyone's busy on an unreleased op-sys rather than fixing an already paid for, unfinished project."
And piling the insult onto injury, this happy camper rants on:
"D1 could learn a lot from developers such as SBSH where a much more active dialogue between user and developer takes place to the benefit of all. One doesn't mind paying because updates are regular and real, customers are treated as friends and not just an income stream - their contributions make a real and acknowledged difference to the evolution of the project.
I've had it with AF - I'll put it down to experience and be much more careful how and when I spend money on software.........................."
What say you? Do you love them or hate 'em
