What you guess makes sense.
But I disagree with the view that the new graphics system would be too
much complex to work. I am now using it extensively, in real
scientific work, since several months. I learned a lot! I can quickly
produce figures of publishable quality (faster and better than by
using direct graphics); widget programming is oversimplified by using
"widget_window"; I can easily build and use movies when I want to do
some animated presentations; 3-D plotting is no longer a technical
difficulty; and many other things that I did not discover yet.
Of course, there are still some hard limitations, too much frequently
encountered and really frustrating. But most often, when I get a
problem with new graphics, I have no way to decide whether the problem
comes from an actual bug or because I am misusing it ! An usable
documentation would fix that and, by the way, would certainly help
Exelis in getting more useful returns from users.
