.. just not as flexible as the decade-older app it's trying to replace!

That, and a series of annoyances with this half-baked but potentially 
useful app, is why I tried Pro and one other whose name escapes me 
before settling back to Wu.

IMHO, vsftpd was one of the more egregious examples of 'shiny-things 
creep' in RH8, shipment of half-baked featureless and documentation-free 
packages whose only claim to fame was being so new that their one-man 
devel team hadn't had to deal with a real bug yet.
