Recently you've had people asking for a Lite Version of MJ. You also have some asking for more and greater features. Now you ask "Which path should we take?".
For me, I want an MJ with fewer functions but with more powerful features within those functions. Like others, I have other software to do some of the functions MJ does. I had the others first, and I'm comfortable with them. MJ excels at organizing, and that's what I like best about it.
Which path? Which path?... As a devout fence sitter, I couldn't pick one. Why not take BOTH? Many software publishers have different level versions of a program (ex., PCDJ-silver, blue, red), or similar programs in the same field aimed at users with varying needs. Can't you do the same? Let the market response determine on which path to continue.
On a side note, I find the forums to be a great place to get helpful information about the product; on the flip side, I also find it a place to find everyone's complaints and troubles with the product. Some areas seem to come up frequently and I'd have to agree with an earlier sentiment, fix it or drop it. Where some see the frequent releases as a quick response to users' troubles, others might wonder "Why so many patches, isn't this product stable YET?".
Like I said - a devout fence sitter.
