Merlin - Where is the feedback?

Over 400 of you have downloaded Merlin - The Wizard Generator (the 6th most popular in the User Samples Page of GDN!), but I've got almost no feedbakc at all, beside some positive blog entries.

The reason for this can be one of the following:

1. You've downloaded it - but didn't use it. So why bother? Delete it and save disk space!

2. It was so good and perfect, you couldn't find the right words to describe your happiness using it.

3. You did find some problems with it, but you didn't bother to send me a note about it.

Since optimistic developer is a bad developer, I believe reason #3 is the closest thing to the truth.

If that's the case with you - please let me know. I won't be able to fix problems I don't know about. And since I've never met an appliction without any glithces, especially in its first release, I'm sure they are there somewhere, lurking behind the lines, and waiting to jump on the innocent user when he is least ready for them. (Actually, he is NEVER ready for them.)

BTW - I won't resist your feedback even if you're #2 user.

very cool, thanks for sharing this. I am going to try it out with some templates at work this week? Are you planning on releasing the source code? I am currenlty a web developer and I am impressed with the GUI you designed

Thanks

I was one of the #1 guys. I would rather have a copy laying around than never being able to remember where I saw it or having it removed from the web...

Now I am #4, I guess. I whipped out Merlin, read the documentation/walk-through, and made a template I've been meaning to make for a few weeks now.

Actually, I guess I am guy #2. Rock on.
