In my view, INSIGHT is a complete joke. It is extremely slow and
very cumbersumber to use. I was looking forward to a point and
click interface that would let me plot,modify and annotate graphs
interactively. This kludge of sliders and buttons at best seems
10 years behind.

I would have put it in the demo applications box.

As a user of IDL who uses it mostly for scientific
processing and analysis, the graphic objects interface doesn't help
me one bit (At least not that I can tell).
