It's great to have the founder of ASDG as a member of Amiga.org, please try and not upset him.
Perry is a pretty smart, savvy dude, and the truth be told, myself and many other ASDG'ers would have had early appointments with Unemployment office if not for the decisions that were made. I tend to think he tends to know what he is talking about..never known the man to make an uninformed opinion, and when he does make a opinion known, you can count on it having enough information behind it to fill an entire forum.
I have to agree it is more than ironic that some of these arguments are still out there after this much time has passed
We really never gave ImageFX much thought tbh and AdPro's strength was in its ease of automation , and the sheer range of actions that could be automated. That app had everything but the kitchen sink stuffed in. (something I was well familiar with since I did most of the AREXX scripting support for end users)..plus TREXX support, and FRED of course
Toaster + TREXX +AdPro was quite the sweet combination once you got your scripting down pat. Very low profile app too, something you could kick off a batch processing job with and come back in a cpl days and be assured there was no GURU waiting for you instead of a completed project.
Plus I think the Emmy recognition AdPro got is proof enough of its past superiority
I think AdPro found its way into far more big name post studios than the other guys
(if they made it in at all).
