If it wasn't to improve the product then there wouldn't be a bugs section. And many of the posts made in other sections have lead to improvements (Including the Lenny thread).
Anyhow its pointless arguing things like this when its so obvious to see certain bias etc no matter how much denial or reframing.
And it is awesome cliff never stops in ways to improve the axe-fx and also listens to people on here from threads like this , the dual recto etc.
I stated my opinion, not needing you or anyone to agree with me. That's not an argument. Forums are extremely fickle when it comes to public opinion and unproductive generally when used as focus groups of any sort. The primary goal of any forum is to foster community and have a place for discussion. The only section I would call the 'improvement' section is the wishlist sections. That's hardly the primary mover and engine of this or any forum.
On Topic: If you like v.9, then by all means, load it up and have at it. Why that becomes a reason to argue on a forum is beyond me.
