I never said GSAK wasn't a good program. I paid my
$20 in 2005.
I only use it a couple of times a month and barely
use its features. One day when the power went
out at home, I decided to get out the laptop and take
some time to go through all the menu items. Neat stuff,
however, I don't think I'll ever need to use more than
10% of its capabilities (even less, now that gc.com
supports finding caches along a route). I've gotten
along fine without needing to use its scripting
capabilities.
It is convenient to say that everyone should stop
complaining because they can continue to use v6.
However, if gc.com changes something that requires
a change to GSAK (remember when gc.com added
the special waypoint lists?), Clyde is not going to
touch the v6 code to make it compatible; thus v6
will become obsolete.
GSAK got where it is today partly due to people
paying $20 and expecting to never have to pay
again 'for a lifetime'. Perhaps that was poor
wording on Clyde's part and he should have been
more clear on his intentions (he admitted he changed
the wording somewhere down the line).
People whose argument is 'shut up and pay for the
upgrade because GSAK is a good program' are
missing the point.
