Sure, those are arguably bad things, but to say that things are getting worse is getting ahead of ourselves, I think. Comment...

Question: Regarding mousewheel in Reaper, i have a plugin where mousewheel is working in Reaper, but not in some other hosts (Cubase, EnergyXT etc.) So there must be something "more correct" in Reaper :)

Reply on February 16 2015, 1:04am:

No, but I've definitely known about bugs and not fixed them until someone complains (though in most cases I'd fix them, sometimes they are too tedious or unlikely, but in either case minor in severity). Comment...

Question: I have a feeling that in most fields people of the world tend to get worse and worse. I always force myself to be realist as much as possible, but do you think that's too pessimistic? What do you think are mindsets people would need to change most urgently?

Question: Re: I guess that stuff comes with the territory and kudos to all of the Cockos staff for having to deal with it.
