[edit] wxWidgets and Mac OS X

"Currently development is focusing on the Linux & Windows editions as the current version of wxPython (specifically wxWidgets) has severe flaws on Mac OS X."

I know that it is stated on the musicbrainz blogthat

wxWidgets on OS X, even the 2.6.x version, is still not ready for prime time

But here is a list of "Software that uses wxWidgets". These are Mac OS X programs I have used and haven't found the issues mentioned in the blog:

aMule - 'All-platform' P2P client based on eMule
Audacity - an open source sound editor
VLC media player - cross platform multimedia player

So I think the part

as the current version of wxPython (specifically wxWidgets) has severe flaws on Mac OS X

should be deleted.

you obviously haven't tried using wxPicard under OS X or linux then :D it really is borked, we get like 3 people talking about bugs related to wxWidgets a week in the irc /forum. as a side note, picard is being ported to QT, which shoukd solve all these issues and more.

[edit] User Interface

This app has the worst user interface of any consumer level program I've ever used. The workflow is utterly bamboozling. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.149.202.165 (talkcontribs) 13:24, 22 April 2007

I just want to mention that the above post is more than a year old and the program was rewritten and has a different interface now. --JonnyJD (talk) 00:48, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
