We use IDL 7.1 using the IDLDE for development on windows and Linux
and then in batch mode for near real time data processing and
visualisation. One of my colleagues attended your training course last
week in Melbourne and mentioned all the nice features that IDL 8.1
has, such as list and hashes which I've hacked up implementations of
as custom objects in 7.1 (which is therefore constrained by the
horrible custom object syntax and memory mismanagement).

So my question is should we move to 8.1 or stay put, given the
problems people are reporting? We don't do anything too fancy
visualisation wise, just static 2d plots and maps, so we don't need to
sit and the bleeding edge of fancy interactive graphics, if that is
what causes the most problems.
