Hi, Aleksey! Yes, I see your point. It's always a tradeoff. On May 27, Aleksey Midenkov wrote:
Hi, Sergei!
That "double standard" is an obstacle for users to achieve maximum potential of software. Advanced users must know how internals work and because this is not documented it is frequently hard work. I'm just telling the downsides of the double concept. I know there are upsides of course: less documentation, smooth learning curve. But now and then developers make the dumbest from a user limiting his possibilities to a real frustration. I just want you to see my point and I feel like this happens every time with every software.
