Nice to see Xara get a mention..

Gary & Paul, say you created something 6 years ago but vastly improved it since then and your reputation and business hinged on what you now produce rather than your original artwork...

...it shows up Xara's efforts in a poor light.

All that required was "Why doesn't Xara tell this guy he's recommending out of date software?" or "Why doesn't Xara get mentioned elsewhere?".

I'd rather there was a mention of Xara than no mention.

You guys also conveniently miss out the price/capability issue. Maybe it would never be recommended at a higher price point. Once the price point goes up Xara looks weak as a page layout program.

Anyway we all have a different take on this and my take-away is don't bother with Xara mentions again!

sorry paul, but sh*t reviews are endemic on the web.. that is is the most important thing here

sure there is a price point - but I would argue you recommend something with legs, not something dead in the water that will not take you where you should be going as you develop

sure it is good xara was mentioned, just a shame about the context
