YAAC Pros and Cons with UIView


 

I'm trying (hard) to sell the use of YAAC over UIview to a group I belong to. I'm hoping someone out there has done a Pro & Con between the two. If you have such a study, please share it with all of us.?
Thanks.

Hi

?

I have used both and the biggest advantage to me is the support.? Andrew is amazing with his support and updating.??? As well, YAAC is cross platform as you can tell from the download page.? I use the raspbian version but have also used the windows version at times.? I have not looked back after switching to YAAC.?

Isay to anyone who is "fine" with the aged non-supported UI-View 32 (Gotta get the full name in...)? I think the program sells itself.

Well..

Good though UiView was in it's day.? It is now "Abandonware", as it's author sadly died, and took the source code with him.? (His wish apparently.)
There might also be, parts of the executable code that could be repurposed by other less honest types, as it hails from the time when data security was not a thing as such.

YAAC on the other hand, the author is very much alive, active, and responsive to feedback about the program.

And as others have said, is cross platform so can be used anywhere a Java Runtime Engine can be installed.? (Windows, Mac, Linux etc.) UiView is old Windows code, it may run in a VM, but that only up's the complexity...

The only advantage I can see for UiView (in some circumstances) is that it is easy to use small area Raster maps, for small local events.? Just don't connect such machines to the public internet!
