SciDAVis for Mac

Developers of SciDAVis and Labplot have teamed up to create a common backend for both the programs. The development is happening on the Labplot 2 branch, SciDAVis development will be slowed down as they concentrate on the new graphing engine. An alternative for SciDAVis is Veusz. it more feature complete than SciDAVis http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/21029/veusz

It is ridiculous to give a developer - especially on who has moved their application over to the Mac, at their own expense, for FREE - a 1-star review because they didn't make installation automatic. Perhaps a point off for this is perhaps reasonable, but come on . . . ! Let me the first to apologize for SOME Mac users, who apparently think that developers should all work for free. I seriously doubt that this user is a seasoned professional. Some of us do truly appreciate all those who attempt to port for Mac. It is certainly nice to have self-installing .DMGs, and nice Mac-like icons, but too much emphasis is placed on this when reviews in MU should focus on all the technical issues, and to vote according to balanced criteria. When an application is truly a free app, as this appears to be, then reviews should also take this into consideration. I would give this 4-stars for effort, but have not yet installed it, because I am a typical lazy Mac user and am used to auto-install features. But, at least I am willing to admit my biases. : ) Thanks for the port. Will examine this more closely asap. CIAO
