Kalzium vs Periodic Table 4

When Kalzium trumps this application then we'll have something to really celebrate.

Could you be more specific? What features does that program have that are missing in Kalzium?

The equation tool in Kalzium is nice and the application has matured immensely. Competition breeds best of breed. I expect with the resources possible from KDE that Kalzium can really be an example of an useful Scientific application any university/graduate student/professional could leverage.

Constructive criticism and challenge always brings out the best.

You are an asshole, whether you know it or not!

In case you don't know it, let me explain why:

1) You fail to explain yourself fully and offer nothing in the form of constructive criticism.

2) The intent of your post is to rain on somebody else's parade, rather than improve an existing application. If the latter had been your intent, you would have filed bugs or wish requests in a timely and ongoing manner with the developers.

So get a life while you can because people around you must surely know how much it stinks to be surrounded by someone who can only express vitriol towards others.

Please tell me what that app is able to do what Kalzium can't. And believe me, Kalzium has several features that app has not ;-)

What Kalzium is missing is for example the customizable gradient-view (http://www.synergycreations.com/periodic/screenshots/deltahf.png), but I am not sure if that doesn't just make the UI more complex... But I do want the log-scale, yes.
Then the "Element box" is configurable". Kalzium offers two default "element boxes" and I think that is enough. Of course, I could add a third or make it configurable as well... Not sure if that is really needed...

http://www.synergycreations.com/periodic/screenshots/deltahf.png is possible in Kalzium as well, it just looks better ;-)

Don't tell me you like this dialog better http://www.synergycreations.com/periodic/screenshots/pd-isotope.jpg than Kalzium's (for example http://edu.kde.org/kalzium/pics/screen2.png).

I would love to have this one... But I'd need help there. http://www.synergycreations.com/alchemist/index.html
