I agree and fully support having more tutorials but not that kind. Because, for example if you have 5 pages manual it's so weak and if you have 100 pages maybe it's cool but if you have 1000 pages, it's surely inefficient. Words, words and words, images or hours of videos which are still only input sources in learning. The only interaction happens when you dare/attempt to use it yourself and figure how it works. I think the main problem is not immediately Maxwell or the software itself. All of us should have a basic knowledge when starting to do anything and if not, the problem begins. I think the gap (annoyance factor) mostly tend to appear at this point. To be honest, I can't read a lot of books, tutorials about something as much as I want/need. There are thousands of them available on the internet but time is very limited. I believe the time is also limited and valuable for any of you. So, nobody has enough luxury to read hundreds of pages, nor even watch hours of videos about 5 topmost application they have to be using well. If it was for once, that could be acceptable but, what if the applications have to evolve and so everything else... Every single day the acceleration of improvements grow up and morph. These are really not excuses but facts. You all know and encounter what I mean. I wish Maxwell were your worst experience but I bet there are numerous other stuff you're already having similar or more troubles with and this is nothing intentionally done on you. For example, while you're hunting a problem on your hardware, that manufacturer builds a completely new one and when it's in the market they can only be sorry about the one you have had. The improvement is irreversible but you want them all both fast and perfect. This is a physically incorrect request. With enough time, we can build a spacecraft, too. And with far less time we can't even make notepad.exe maybe. What you have is done in the most optimal result with our resources and nobody can argue it was better before and you may easily justify this is something vastly improved (there are guys on this forum since alpha era who know what I really mean very well) and will even be better. In the beginning there was no single page of document, now we have a decent set of documentation, tutorials, videos and a very responsive technical support. Having 1.x tutorials with no 2.x equivalents at the same time is not the end of the world.
