That's pretty much where I find myself, only a few months ago I gave up on Canola entirely. I used to install each release sure that this time, this time it would click. I'd find the joy almost everyone else finds with Canola. This would be it.

Instead, I'd again find a start up time seemingly longer than the play time of an average, radio-edit track and a cumbersome user interface designed for some other, non-touchscreen, non-multitasking device. The slow launch I could live with, but the UI I can't. In the end, the simple task of creating a .desktop file with the "-n" switch for normal, everyday use always wound up seeming to be more trouble than it's worth, and I'd dump the whole program yet again.

I like Canola's list of features. I like its developers. I want to like it. But I hates fighting the UI.
