Rigid User Experience

I did not use this plugin, because I was dissuaded from its use by the author’s comments on this (very good) exchange (https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/if-you-want-what-it-does-super-but-only-then/).

Why am I leaving this review? I want the author to know that for a segment of the population, his design choices leave some of us to find other solutions. I design scientific software for a living, and I would appreciate the comments that I will make here.

I can’t imagine having any citation application where the citations are not stored in a database. There is a lot to unpack on that post and I suggest others read it before they download this package. Also, it does contain this ironic gem: “The overall UX of this forum is horrendous.”

In short, the author’s rigid design choices cause his userbase to segment (to what degree, I can’t say). I would like to thank him for his forthright description in this referenced post. I would suggest that he make it a sticky or change it into a FAQ. It actually saved me a ton of time, because I almost installed the plugin.

Before we finish, yes I gave it two stars. I started at three to be neutral; however, your attitude to your users seems combative (and that warrants the downgrade).
