Ok i just going to warn you all i'm about to go off ranting about something that most of you probably won't care about so if you dont just ignore this post.
Something that really bothers me is the fact that people think that everything should be the same and should never change. Take RSS readers for example, I have been working on one for roughly 4 months now, here in the last 2 or 3 weeks I released beta 2 on the forums at Neowin.net, and someone comes along talking about having been looking for RSS reader for quite some time. So he downloads it and then comes back and says "...the layout is horrable. Its a listbox in its most simple form.". Then he posts this picture of another feed reader, saying that my program should looks somewhat like the pic he posted which in turn looks just like Mozilla Thunderbird.
In my opinion, things that all look exactly the same are just plain boring which is the whole reasoning behind my program being different.
I call upon the loyal reader to answer the following question:
Why do you think people are afraid of something different?
