Exactly. I don't care if software is new or old. I just care if it solves my problem or not. As a result my preferred toolset contains software that is very old and in some cases very new. I was in a meeting a couple of years back in which someone was espousing the value of 'make'. A couple of people were speaking as it if quite new. Several people were stunned when I pointed out that make was older than most of the people in the meeting. This comes back to my earlier point about users being able to use different tools and interfaces on Linux at the same time. Why compromise? Rob
