Sebastiano,

The problem with LunaSuite is that after countless releases, the product was
buggy as h.. Sorry to say that, but I think the guys were too ambitious at once
and tried to pack too many features simultaneously. So, even if you were
reporting them the errors, the next release was as full of bugs as the previous
one. This went on for weeks, if not months before the Newton was axed. It was a
real promising product though, very nice, well done interface, but a lot of bugs
were crippling all those nice features.

-Laurent.
