First place: Thanks for taking the time to write. Believe me when I say I value that even if I disagree with your opinions. Healthy discussion is always good!
Now for a reply...
How come there is nothing out there for the mac? How come nothing has been written? Is everybody that lazy if it's that simple? PLEASE show me where all the "FREE frontends that integrate Music, Video Player, Browser, GPS (ok this isnt available on the mac), rear view camera, phone control, etc,etc,etc" are?? I'd love to have a look at them. The reason we did this was because we couldn't find anything out there for the mac! I really don't understand what youre comparing us too you say "others" and I ask "What others??", is it the PC Media Engine? Theres nothing like it for the Mac, unfortunately. If there was I'd gladly pay for it and not even think about developing i3. It IS work you know. We do spend time on it. What really frustrates ME is that at least we're trying to do something yet very few people seem to value the effort. You seem to believe that it'd be better if we did nothing at all. Would it be better if we just kept i3 for ourselves or if it didn't exist? Think of it this way: i3 is setting the standard for a mac media application (however low you think our standard is...). Whatever comes next HAS to be better, right? Maybe i3 will get people off their lazy @$$ and make them do something. Get the "market" moving. Better yet: If it's so simple YOU do it and I'll buy your application for $25 if I think it's better than i3!! :-)
On a different note: Adoro a sua cidade! Meus pais moram na Bahia e passo por aí sempre que os vou visitar. (Nice car too... ;-) )
