I resisted comment the first time around on your inquiry because
threads on pyro tend to become something of a quagmire. Some
attribute almost magical qualities to pyro developers while others
are perfectly satisfied with the results they get with the
traditional developers they have used since they first started doing
photography and apparently see no need to change. Nothing, and I
repeat *nothing* we say here is going to change any of that for
these people. However, I am curious as to what you see as the
disadvantages of pyro? As someone who uses both traditional and pyro
developers I have some thoughts of my own on this, but wanted to
first see what you, or others, perceive as real disadvantages with
pyro.
