Widget Maker X1.3.4

I'm posting this because I feel somewhat responsible for what I consider plagiarism following a post I made on version tracker.com. (http://www.versiontracker.com/php/feedback/article.php?story=20050716120531829#28400) My opinion is that Widget Maker now appears to be nothing more than a copy of something called WCode/widget creator which has been out as a beta version for over 3 months. I know that there are always going to be several products that offer to do the same thing with a twist- but in this case really I'm saddened by what's happened. WCode/widget creator, which can be found on www.widgetfactor.com, is VERY cool, has a better user interface, was there first and is actually a cheaper shareware! It deserves your support. Laetitian

Woah Woah Woah...Let's just get some things straight. This is a rough and unfinished program, and the developer is just clearly trying to make some money out of his little app. Well, sorry mister, but it doesn't work that way. You have to make a nice clean Mac OS X compliant application in order to do that! The program doesn't follow Apple's UI guidelines what so ever, and doesn't even have a mask on some of the toolbar icons. If you're just an engineer, then get someone else to do the graphics of your application. It is missing lots of features (which are also missing in WCode), such as code debugging, syntax coloring, and so many other things, too many to list here at least. The Wizard includes too many steps, and the application requires itself to be in your Applications folder to run, WHY? Not worth $16.99, should be freeware with its current quality, stability and feature-set. This is certainly a beta, not ready for real use.

The "ReadMe" file says "Coming Soon". Not very helpful...

Since the app icon is clearly taken from dashboardwidgets.com, perhaps the next update can include an original icon?

Some strange inconsistancies: The author's website mentions a 5 day limit, not 20 days as mentioned above - Also, the version on the site is 1.1.0, not 1.0.1 as mentioned above. Which is it?
