Bottom line is: Hyperion rocks!

Well said Kay.  :-D

At one point, things were so bad that the Friedens actually withdrew from Amiga forums for months.

It was simply unbelievable how they were treated and ridiculed on forums like Moobunny by certain rival developers/supporters in the past.

Of course, I happily made myself unpopular on Moobunny at the time, by replying that the Frieden brothers are among the most talented coders the Amiga community has to offer.  :-D

Well, to be fair there were a few individuals at Moobunny who thought certain technical choices made by Hyperion were wrong. (And of course these guys didn't necessarily express their opinions in very nice ways, which a lot of us don't appreciate, no matter where we are on the issues.)

Yes, IMO there is nothing wrong with having a different opinion or point of view. In a competitive market I would often view this as healthy. However these vocal people continuously spread cheap lies about the Frieden brothers, this besides the name calling...

Anyway, at least I share most of the opinions and views presented by the Frieden brothers.  :-)
