The interface for the SeeYou software is just painful once you try XC Soar (modern interface, modern device).

Funny, I found it the exact opposite - XCSoar is interesting but tries too hard to do too much, while I can tailor SYM to do exactly what I want - and only what I want.

But then, I use an SN10 for the number crunching, and SYM for a tactical display.

I will admit that for the price, XCSoar (and LK8000) are fantastic.

As with most computer programs once you snap, XCSoar is very easy to
understand, and very easy to tailor to ones needs.
I agree that there is a lot more being offered than most of us need,
but some folks do request certain features that the developers
patiently listen to and often implement.

Seeing that no one gets paid for their work and the continuing
development is done mostly through a spirit of cooperation in an
effort to support the soaring community, it is an amazing phenomenon.
