No shit Sherlock. Did you for one second think about that simple-scan is far from being an xsane replacement? I doubt that simple-scan would let you scan&fax and I'd be most surprised if it were integrated into image manipulation apps like gimp.
No, it's not a full featured scanning application. It's _simple_ scan, and works a lot better than xsane for me, and I'm certainly not Aunt Tilly.
I fully agree to that (surprised?). If Colin hadn't removed xsane* from comps altogether I wouldn't have complained (and that's been amended), as I'm totally d'accord with casual users getting a simple to use scanning application. I would even say that people who need the versatility that xsane offers now deserve a better UI than what it currently has. Unfortunately nobody has gotten around to pimping xsane accordingly or writing a replacement yet, at least in FOSS circles.
