I apologize and edited my initial post.

Sounds like answer is that people who are using it love it, which is what I was trying to find out.
ah ah, no you don't need to apologize. I try to explain better why I answered in that way: we try to be "fair", this is our mission. For example, we have only 800 friends on myspace, but we never asked for a friendship. We don't sign with different names on forums trying to change the opinion in people's mind. For example I had an other account on kvr, an old one, "leban", I didn't use it any more after I signed as "giancarlo".
When someone posts something negative about nebula (really really negative), I go in my forum, open a thread and say: "ehi guys, they speaking about nebula. Comments are not good till now. I'm not interested if you agree or not, but please post there. The whole discussion could be interesting and useful for us. If you agree, it means that we should improve something. If you don't agree, it means that you could explain why he/she is wrong in his statements"! It could appear a bit incredible, but even our betatesters have a great freedom. They could beta-test our product and post negative comments around. We will not revoke grants on our forums. They are good betatesters if they 'test' our products and report bugs or comments. It's not relevant if they have a good opinion or not.
