Yes, having more real users of Athens is really good from all sides of view: it will help a lot for polishing and delivering quality. And making sure that Athens suits your needs. Because if you wait until "final & golden" version will be released, you may discover that it is quite far from your interpretation of what "golden" is.. and to ensure that it is the same, the best way is to participate and give feedback.
I do not really understand why you feel I am reluctant to use Athens. I do use it. My everyday image is Athens based.
I'm not better than anyone else who can do linear algebra. The math involved there is very simple.. no rockets , no science. Yes, i learned a lot about different stuff.. but i am not inventing anything new.. Athens is about bringing _existing_ tech into our little world. And all information is available on web, in dozens forms:
- tutorials, lectures, papers , demos, frameworks, pick yours..
The part of the Roassal code that do the translation was done way before Athens was released. So this is not a surprise that Roassal does not use Athens' matrixes...
