Aeroplanner does offer some interesting features that AOPA's planner does
not but it is just too slow and cumbersome to be really useful. But then,
why should AOPA be competing with the for-profit planners? Why is free,
advanced planning a plank for AOPA?

If I want to quickly check weather, going directly to the CS DUATS web site
and interpretting the text output is still the fastest. I'll use AOPA's free
planner to plan long cross-countries but even then, it is not a critical
piece of my planning.

AOPA - please use my money to keep airports open and ADs to a safe minimum.

AOPA should have just left it as a Web application. I don't see why they
needed to make ANY platform-specific download. I'll just use
Aeroplanner on my Macs, Suns, Linux-boxes, and Windows PCs.

Agreed. AOPA: Just provide pointers on the web site to various planning
products, and spend our money on your mandate.
