Of course each of us likes what he likes. I have no problem with that.
It's when I hear false information about one thing in the promotion of
another that I offer my opinions.

I keep hearing about "adding a turnpoint IN FLIGHT" so I fired up my
XCSoar simulator. Here's how it went: On course, I decided I wanted to
add a point. I touched that point and an info display popped up, I
touched the "next" arrow and selected "Insert into task". That was it!
Nothing more. How difficult or distracting was that?

Truly I don't care what you or anyone else uses to plan or execute his
flights. I just don't like to see one product unjustly promoted or
disparaged when compared to another. Next thing you know we'll be
hearing that the global climate is changing... Of course it is, as it
has been for the past 4.3 billion or so years!

The bugs have been submitted to butterfly, and I have better things to do with my time than placate name callers. What you should be asking is for Butterfly to make the bug list public so that you have not only the ones I have submitted but also those submitted by others, and a roadmap of releases when they will be fixed. zendesk, github issues, GetSatisfaction are all platforms where developers can have a transparent dialog with their customers.
So I guess it isn't "riddled with bugs" after all.

Dan, it isn't that you can't do most of the things on XCSoar, given enough time and attention. There are things though, like adding a turn point to the task *in the air* that the extra time and attention is unwanted and sometimes even dangerous. If you are happy with the Dell and XCSoar you are way ahead since the cost is so low. But for me there are better offerings.
