Hi kahuna, sorry that MoI isn't suitable for you - really the whole founding idea behind MoI is to do something different from other CAD programs. If you need something that's a carbon copy of other CAD programs you should indeed look elsewhere.

> I'd say right now it's more reasonably priced at $20

Made me chuckle out loud! Actually most of the feedback I've received is surprise that the price is so low.

I've known for a long time that MoI is not the right tool for everyone and that's fine.

That guy just seems to be a cheap troll...

MoI is the best thing since sliced bread, don't let ignorami put it down. Your work is excellent and it is exactly the ergonomics that make it such a great tool.

Keep up the good work Michael. The guy just made it harder for the 'new' company to get work done fast by not selecting MoI. (if his representations are even true)
Regarding the many bugs: Maybe it is his computer that is screwed up, or could be he runs a pirated copy that isn't cracked right ;-)
'Cause I certainly don't have ANY issues with "bugs".

Hi Death, well it's definitely true that MoI doesn't try to do things in the same way as established CAD apps. But that's ok - MoI is not really intended to be some kind of drop-in replacement for other software. It's meant to help people who don't particularly fit well with traditional CAD.

So for someone with a heavy background in traditional CAD it can seem weird. But it all depends on the specifics of what someone is doing, there are people with extensive CAD backgrounds that do like MoI's different approach because the focus on being streamlined and easy to learn and use also brings a really fast and fluid feel for drawing. That can be an important quality for some people.

The buggy feeling is probably due to the "Wineskin" mechanism that MoI v2 and v3 use for the Mac version. There are lots of little glitches with it but those have been solved in v4 since I've undertaken a major rewrite in v4 to quit using Wineskin and have a native compiled Mac build instead.

Right now with v4 not being released quite yet the current trial version is of v3 and so someone testing the current available Mac trial version is still going to see all the weird Wineskin limitations. That's only a temporary problem though, once v4 is finalized then the trial version for testing on Mac will be greatly improved.
