did all the presentations on a Mac, with the genuine Mac version. He said,
he does the software development on the Mac version, that's why the Windows
version is somewhat behind sometimes.

This is quite hard to believe. The Windows version has a basic UI level
with tool buttons *and* function key shortcuts, but on OS X all is hidden.

Seems, it is a matter of taste...

They are already annoyed by the unfinished feeling that both versions have.
When plotting a voltage, who would ever prefer to have the grid set to -1.1
V to +7.9 V with 0.9 V between the grid lines?

I guess he's very interested in implementing the simulation, not the user
interface (or listening to user feedback about it). :-)
