   I think it a typically filthy marketing message:   
      
   1. Superlative degree without justification.   
      
   2. Claims impudently bold and so vague no one can test their   
      validity.   
      
   3. Hypocritical personalisation. Who is that "you" whose needs   
      the product is supposed so perfectly to fulfil? If it is more   
      than one person, then you are lying, for no two people's needs   
      and tastes are the same, and no software is perfect.   
      
   4. The mission of your developers is to make money, and nothing   
      else. If I am wrong, then let me see your EULA, pricing, and   
      support plans.   
      
   5. Developers??? It is always the money-obsessed managers that   
      decide which features to implement and how, the developers   
      having no voice in it. Their sole purpose is to sell more   
      copies, which means lamer-oriented design -- a form of interface   
      design that makes a progrmam usable without much training,   
      discipline, or study of the documentation, at the sacrifice of   
      efficiency that comes with traning and discipline. Good examples   
      are Microsoft Word vs. LaTeX and Visio vs. Graphviz.   
      
      To quote the Tao of Programming:   
      
      > There was once a programmer who was attached to the court of   
      > the warlord of Wu. The warlord asked the programmer: "Which is   
      > easier to design: an accounting package or an operating   
      > system?"   
      
      > "An operating system," replied the programmer.   
      
      > The warlord uttered an exclamation of disbelief. "Surely an   
      > accounting package is trivial next to the complexity of an   
      > operating system," he said.   
      
      > "Not so," said the programmer, "When designing an accounting   
      > package, the programmer operates as a mediator between people   
      > having different ideas: how it must operate, how its reports   
      > must appear, and how it must conform to the tax laws. By   
      > contrast, an operating system is not limited by outside   
      > appearances. When designing an operating system, the programmer   
      > seeks the simplest harmony between machine and ideas. This is   
      > why an operating system is easier to design."   
      
   > Our motto is "Trifles make perfection".   
      
   A motto of a company that makes trifling software. You have to   
   offer something larger than trifles. Can you say what specifically   
   is so great about your product(s) in a coherent paragraph, in a   
   short expository essay? I commend the Introduction to the manual   
   for VDE -- a truly unique, revolutionary text editor as an example:

   > Has this no English errors, English Tutors?   
      
   1. *The* mission of...   
   2. "so entirely" is weird, because it is has no comparative degree.   
   3. of *your* life.
