We would be glad that people had another choice of viewers, of course. Different people have different tastes. I still use a Snowglobe 1.3-based viewer in my free time because I'm more of a text person than an icon person. For a long time, I was even patching in the old communicator dialogs to save a little screen space. Other Lindens have already taken to the 2.0 interface and don't like going back. With infinite resources, we would probably keep supporting both in order to keep curmudgeons like me happier. Since we can't cover every last interest though - the code's out there. With larger features like mesh coming along, know that you'll be signing up for an awfully large chunk of porting work though. _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
