I agree with an intial easy install as well as the ability for indepth customization. FreeICE is close to this idea. Works right out of the box... nothing to set. From there, there are some customizations available and more on the way. I also agree with the comment about how much work it takes to get the bells and whistles of RR working...some of them just are clear as to what they do. Sure search the forum for answers... but there are a lot of posts and going through them results from SEARCH to find it is still tedious. CF 2.0 offers this kind o basic/advanced settings... http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/cent...e-2-0-rc2.html

Perhaps if you don't like the extra features in a frontend or a skin, or how hard it is to install or configure, you should demand a refund. Oh, that's right, it's all free. If you don't like a particular front end or skin don't use it, buy one or build your own. Bellyaching about things people have spent hundreds or thousands of hours creating and then make available for free out of the kindness of their hearts is neither a good way to show appreciation for their work nor a good way to encourage them to do more. Nobody owes you anything.
