I happen to know that the WinHex developer reads these reviews, but I am 99% sure he has never posted a review. The only type of person who frowns on frequent bug fixes-especially that of software as heavy-duty and complicated in function as WinHex-is a person who knows nothing about software development. The only software that doesn't have bugs is a day-one "Hello, World!" program, and even that is debatable. Proof of this is the suggestion that WinHex's updates include "minor" or "unnecessary". If you simply read the release notes, it should be plain to you that at least some of the fixes are important (though not necessarily to all users of WinHex). When I see frequent bug fixes, I am glad that the bugs are being discovered and fixed. When I don't see bug fixes for competitors, I laugh because I know serious bugs must exist, but they either aren't being discovered, reported, or fixed.
