	Oh no  ! :-))))))

	Don't fall in this so often seen process of creating
everywhere the same thing because some (the majority ?) people
just want to get things without having to think about it. In
developping a free software people get a chance to develop new
ideas and give them to whoever wants to make some little efforts
to get those new ideas. If DB must mimick thinkdb, why a new
software ?
	Free software is not a matter of being the most used
program. For that we have commercial paradigme. I love db
BECAUSE it's elegant and BECAUSE its interface is different
than those annoying "intuitive" ones, which in fact are never
intuitive, just all the same.
	And I think that development efforts are more efficient
and interesting in creating new concepts rather than reimplementing
the same weird menu one more time.

	You know what ? When I see a button like the one on the
left of the databases list, I CAN'T even try to resist to the
desir to tap on it, and Bingo ! I've found how to copy or delete
even before asking myself about that :-)))))))))
	People who are not able to read doc or to try to tap on
a visible button probably won't be able to use a database program
efficiently.
