People are different. :))

I personally want to know what happens and I don't believe anything waht
I can't see. In C I can see the assembly code what (I hope) is a
deterministic thing. An interpreter is to big (to me) to think about it
as a deterministic thing. And yes, with ``normal'' bugs a managed
language could give me more possibility to find the place of the
problem. But I want to hope, that we don't commit normal bugs. :)

And with mysterious bugs, when you cannot reproduce it in a test system,
just the costumer some hundred miles away, I think that the stability of
the compiled code (and the core file what may created) is give more more
chance to find the right place.

This is a desktop application in a client-server model.
I will look after azureus.
