Subject: Re: [SPAM] Re: Serious feedback and improvement headroom
Look at what happened with Browser Wars: in the first half of 2000s,
Firefox was obviously a
better browser than IE by orders of magnitude, and nevertheless its
adoption was slow.
Then, when Google Chrome appeared, it had won the first place almost
overnight.
You may like to know that here are more Firefox users accessing the LilyPond
website than Chrome.
Do you see my point?
No, I'm sorry, I don't. I don't think LilyPond is in competition with any
commercial product: it offers a free alternative. I started using LilyPond
because I didn't want to pay £100s for something that was not fundamental to
my life: LilyPond offered something that did essentially the same thing for
nothing. To me, there is no competition: that only occurs when products are
fighting for the same market, and LilyPond is in a different market: i.e.
free software.
