That was always my experience when I tried to ask - why this way and why not this way? Can I do this? Why not, as this makes a little sense?įor example, why I have to waste the storage space to import gigabytes of my existing databases to create yet another database in a program-specific format that cannot be read by other software? Convenience of associated metadata? OK, but why this convenient format does not allow a reference assembly against selected genome regions, while open-source software allows that using less convenient data formats? No, you have to use the entire genome - it will be slow though. Once the juggernaut is assembled and sold to you - you, stupid end user do not even try to question programmers' logic behind its beautiful design as you just not capable to get its beauty from your end user pimple point of view. The main problem that keeps me avoiding commercial supposedly more user-oriented and conveniently integrated software (that is what you are paying for, right?) was in fact it is totally opposite. So far it was mostly frustrating experience, but I wonder if someone is more satisfied. Now it is coming to end and I need a make decision whether it worth to pay for. I took advantage of CLC's offer last spring to get a free 6 mo trial evaluation of full version of their Genomic Workbench.
