Quirky - that is what I am talking about

[johnnyprc]

I don't agree about it being an issue of "ineptitude of end-users who use the software without carefully studying how it is designed to work".

As an architect, the software should work in a logical way by which to act as my tool. If the tool gets in the way of my creativity, then its not a good tool. Learning how the tool works so you are dictated by that tool is never a good result. I will tell you, if I go back and forth between Vectorworks, Autocad, 3D Studio Max, Sketchup, Revit, I do not find the same "quirky" behavior. Learning curve, yes - quirky, no. Chief needs to stop creating "work-a-rounds" in their software and get it right.

It so happens that even though I think Chief is quirky, it does some things so well its worth it for me to deal with those issues. My recommendation here is to fix the issue for other users who are staying away from Chief due to these issues. Chief is SOOOOO close to being GREAT.
