 Coding Blog: Depressed :-(
Posted by HopeSeekr on Saturday, November 06 @ 07:19:24 CST

I dedicate roughly 40 hours a week, or more, to xMule. Running and coding it single-handedly is very trying at times, especially today. I just received an email from a person I had been trying to help for the last week. In the end, after I had dedicated several hours explicitly to him, he said he was going to the fork of this project, explicitly because of the major things I had done in the last 6 months.
Do you like the changes since, well, xMule 1.7? Should I revert vast segments of xMule to their state 8, 9 months ago? Please, I need some help here.
Do you want a virtual copy of eMule for windows, or a client that tries to be innovative and more stable?
APparently it seems a *lot* of you want just a copy (which is *far* easier to achieve, and *far* less beneficial to the world on a whole in the longrun | ever heard of monopolies?).
The main gripes this user had were
a) "no French version". This is false. xMule can be started in french mode via $ LC_ALL=fr_FR xmule. People *used* to know this just a few months ago, I thought, so how has this knowledge disappeared?
b) xMule is "less active" than aMule. Is that true? Can any one really say that xMule, which commits larger (code wise) and *far* more frequent releases than aMule is "less active"?
c) xMule is "less stable" than aMule. Over all, is this now true? Especially when considering how stable xMule's *STABLE BRANCH* (1.8.4) is? If so, I am very depressed indeed.
d) aMule has more volunteers. I have no idea why that is. You should tell me why you aren't helping, but only if I havne't heard from you (e.g. no flames, please).
e) "xMule's preferences suck." A valid complaint. Did I mention I spent a lot of time on that? That it is far more extensible than the old ones internally (far better) and that it shows I am innovative as opposed to the aMlue copycats? How can I make it unsuck in an origianl manner?
f) "xMule's search dialog sucks." I may tend to agree. How does it exactly/
g) "aMule's interface is 'less innovative' and therefore less confusing." Is it bad to have two different ways of doing the same thing? Or are we windows users who cannot learn?
I must personally, again, ask why no one volunteers to do any thing around here...it's getting old. PLEASE volunteer for ANY TASK!! I can give any one a list of things to do ranging from braindead rote editing to advanced C++.
Feeling like an abject failure,
Ted
