Hi Everyone,
I have started a Poll and herein start a discussion to try and get a QTech response.

I believe that QV is an incredible product and is streets ahead in terms of power and functionality. Where I think it is currently lacking and where I constantly feel pressure from clients, is in the area of aesthetics.
Some things that I would love to see would be:
- Nicely rendered charts with nicer popups that are much more customizable
- Animations in charts - hoverovers, etc...
- Better text rendering in the list boxes, captions, tables and text boxes
- Many more customization options for all objects with regards to visuals
I can imagine that these things would/should be possible long term as the reports are delivered over the web through Ajax or IE plugin. I'm interested in whether there is a roadmap in place around this sort of stuff.
I'm a statistician so will agree with everyone that it's not what it looks like, it is the quality of the data and the quality of the analysis that counts. But the truth of the matter is, that the visuals are what clients are demanding and they are the end users, so it is their demands, not ours, that should push the flow of this development.
Happy for anyone to chime in with their opinions.
Gareth
