I'm rather unhappy with a few developments on reboot.pro.
Firstly, reboot.pro is clearly no longer a developer board, but rather a support board. Which is not wrong in any way, just not what i signed up to. Many other seem to think so too and have already left.
Second, Though, to have any script can be considered better, than to have no script at all, i'm still rather upset about the general quality of the available scripts. Even the bare minimum, that it works, is not always given.
Third. Quantity over quality.
I have downloaded all app scripts, i could find last month. 2,7GB to be precise.
After removing all doublicates and older versions, there were still 1,8GB left.
After testing the scripts in builds, the number fell to just 570MB, when i deleted scripts, which did not work correctly or removed inferiror scripts for the same application.
When finally left with a build, with all working apps, i started to compare the different programs, which did the same job.
Though i cut the programs a lot of slack, when considering them, not to be designed for the same job and i'm a fan of deversity, there's just no reason to write scripts for way inferior programs, just to drive the count of scripts up!
Maybe i'm weird, but shouldn't the script developer have at least used / tested the program and consider it to be a good program, before he writes a script for it?
I'm not yet done with the testing, but already the scripts have droped to 317MB.
By just comparing the initial 1,8GB to the now 317MB, one can see, how much time and effort is wasted in development, but also, how much time of the enduser is wasted, who has to dig through that haystack in search of needles.
People don't need half a dozend or more programs, which all claim to do the same thing. They need one. One that works guaranteed.
