Re: [ROOT] Response to ROOT criticism?

While there are certainly problems with ROOT and it design and
documentation and with C++, ROOT has on overwhelming advantage over the
alternatives -- it's support! While I often find it hard to figure how to
do something or ecounter seemingly bizzare behavior, if I post a queastion
I get the answer (usually from Rene B).. Sometimes within an hour when
it's the middle of the night in europe!
