? It's trivial in .NET platforms, but in SC is essentially impossible
You know actually this is taken as an overwhelming complement. We really do appreciate that. And that is the honest truth. Essentially when anyone compares us to .NET, we cannot help but think about the absolute trash that that crap is. And we really do not care if we offend anyone. It becomes so obviously clear, day after day after day after day, how the Sierra Chart architecture is superior to everything out there, and how we stand way above everyone else when it comes to quality speed and reliability. Computer software is in a state of deterioration at this point, but we continue to excel. And there is all kinds of work we are currently doing to improve Sierra Chart further and further which does not involve Microsoft and their trash. It allows us to adapt Sierra Chart to other operating systems.

And really we do not care if anyone else does not agree with us.

Nevertheless, there is a lot of room for improvement in Sierra Chart, and that is what we are working hard with. We do not talk about everything we are doing, but there is a lot going on and planned.


but it is a feature gap between SC and its competitors because unlike with .NET the SC architecture does not allow a programmer to output directly to the screen
Really, this does not bother us but anyway we thought of a way you can do this. Actually this has been supported for many years now.
