We still have some negative posts, people still have problems, bugs still exist...all of the same issues are still here...the difference is that Eric actually TELLS us they're aware of it, or that it's not coming now, but in 2.0, or whatever.

Really, that's an indictment of the previous communication style, but still it's good to see.
