Any software worth its salt will have an overall design or philosophy behind it. This design is not so much visual, but more about the general way that users experience the software. It's as much about the features it offers as it is about how it offers them.
One of the core principles at Resolume we feel very very strongly about, is that your flow gets interrupted as little as possible. Pops up, confirmations, dialogs, etc force you to stop doing what you're doing and listen to the software. We feel that's the world upside down. The software should listen to you and it should just do the thing it needs to do, at the moment you tell it to.
It's a great philosophy and overall it's worked out pretty well for us. Resolume just flows with whatever you're doing. You don't even notice the places where other software would have gotten in the way. But in some cases, like this one, you can argue that it gets taken too far.
That's a valid opinion. Hearing other opinions is awesome and it's why we have this forum. You can't always see all sides of a topic and having your opinion changed can be the best feeling in the world. But even then, it's not like you then drop everything and throw all of your old opinions out the window. Sometimes that can take time. Especially when it's about something you used to feel really really strongly about.
Like always, good things come to those that wait.
