I think saying "this is difficult" is not enough; it doesn't provide new information (which would be useful for the software developers). IMHO, it would have been better by saying: dselect is disgusting to use, very user unfriendly, doesn't show any elegant design, and makes my dog yawning by looking at it. But of course, it has to be followed up with explanations of the things that could be improved, or at least with something that the complainer would like to have or see. Oki ps: Sure, then the developers would simply say: if you don't like it, then feel free to write a new one by yourself. :-)
