Topic: Any Substitutions to WD

[txweather.org]

The Linux version of WD is super buggy.... I might not have any option sense I need it to run on my PI...

Lots of people are running Cumulus MX on Pi's - me included on an original Model B. It is very stable and has a very small footprint.

Awesome!
Thanks, Ill try this now.

Thank you so much for this recommendation.
I couldn't be happier!
Support is amazing and is actively develop.
1000x more stable than WD, Though I do have to say that there is a few bugs here and there but they are been worked out.

Hu? What?
What made you say that? I am not the one bashing WD on this thread.
I never said I hate WD!!! You must be mistaking me with Bushman.
I use WD (On windows) and WDL. I do not like the WD Linux version because is way to buggy is all. Something wrong with that?

OK sorry, I was just referring to for example this:

"1000x more stable than WD"

I think you are overexaggarating, but yes you are right, there are others who probably hate it even more

I myself don't use any software, but I try to be unbiased. I mentioned this in this thread previously - each software is good for some and not for others and you can't really say one of them is the best.

I agree to some extend. I do have to point out that you should try them to be able to formulate your own opinion instead of jumping the gun on threads like this.
I spin a windows vm for testing purposes of this windows apps.

So far WD is awesome under windows.... Not so much on Linux. It needs heavy attention. Lon/Lat Map not working, Defaulting settings when closed, etc...
This is positive feedback for the developer.

OK I agree,

just want to add however, that by "not using them" I meant I don't have my station connected to it, however I do have them all installed and work with them while developing and testing, so I know them quite well.

*I* never said I hate it - just that I have a fully licensed  copy I do not use.  Draw your own conclusion....

I am not going to derail this whole thread but you have to own it. You said more than that... Maybe not directly but your expression tells a story... There is 2 pages worth of your expression of dislike about WD.

I don't want to dig into this any further, but I have to agree with xcom. Read the posts on the previous pages.

[Bushman]

*I* put up two pages of complaints??  Proof or withdraw.  I used WD for years; never cared for it.  For many reasons.  So I'm stuck with a license of yet another piece of  software.  You guys on commission or something????

Maybe I should try Meteotemplate...

What a joke. I leave this with that.

With all due respect, if you've used WD for years you must like it to some extent otherwise might you have  abandoned it a long time ago? Or maybe you aren't too sure if switching to another program would really be a step up from WD?

I guess I'm really not understanding.

I can testify that having tried other software I wound up sticking to WD for many reasons and I'll touch on some of them.

First, for 70$ is a lifetime subscription on any computer and upgrades.

This includes all the functionality that WD provides.

Brian goes out of his way to support the program when users have questions and suggestions, and he listens. Sometimes I have to wonder if he ever sleeps.

You take what WD does and the dedication Brian puts into WD and for 70$ unconditional lifetime membership, you bet some of us WD users get a bit territorial about this.

I respect your opinion if you don't like it. But take it for what it is.

"Liking" something and "using" something are two diffent things.  If I am using a product passively, I will use it if I really "like" it or not because its just "there."

"Liking" something is also relative.  If something I really do like is discovered, than the similar thing that I had previously will be liked less, or disliked.  If there is a big enough difference - for example I learn that the "new" thing does what I want the old thing to do all along, but with much less hassle than what I endured with the "old" thing - I might discover that I hated the old thing. 

How's that for disecting verbiage?

[Skywatch]

That's not the point.

If you don't like something, at least in this case there's nothing stopping you from moving on and trying something else. There's nobody holding you or Bushman at gunpoint forcing you to use WD.

Perhaps Bushman is upset because he can't get a refund? But then again WD like VWS has a 30 day trial.

I don't understand the obligation is? Nobody is forcing anyone to use one program or another and most certainly nobody is under "commission" as Bushman puts it. Of course us WD users can just as easily say VWS are under commission.
