On Second Thought

I adore Windlight for its possibilities. I love how customizable it is. I love how pretty the skies and lighting can be.

I hate how buggy it is. I hate how much it crashes. I hate the newly-introduced black bands that appear in my sky. I hate how you can’t get past the login screen more than half the time these days - not without bypassing it entirely by passing command line parameters through your shortcut. I love how by now, the Windlight team @ Linden Lab™ have to know about the login screen crashes, but they don’t say a word about it anywhere, or give anyone any advice about how to deal with it. I resent certain Lindens very arrogant and condescending attitude about residents concerns with Windlight. (Insert-scowl-here.)

I do understand that a First Look is not a finished product. I understand that they are hoping for user input and bug reports. I also notice how the bug reporting tool that automatically pops up after you crash is completely non-functional these days. But I suppose that’s what JIRA is for.

I really do love Windlight’s potential but right now, some of its “showstoppers” (at least in my opinion) are really driving me up a wall…
