Hereafter summary of my complaints:
1. icons have no tooltips. So, impossible to know their usage by letting the mouse cursor on.
2. by default it does that for all mounted filesystems. After one hour, it was not yet finished (I had only the netbeans source). I tried to click on the stop button, but the result was the button disappear, and no more possible to click on it.
3. sometimes the title of columns dissapear, or to be more exact are displayed in a one pixel height (so you can't read the title)
4. Sometimes column titled suggestion has no more title. 
5. In the Change Visible Columns, the first column has no title.
6. In the tools | Options, you can only change string to search for, but not add or remove them. Buttons are disabled.
7. It's always running and Impossible to work with it anymore. I will kill the application :-((
8. It seems that sometimes it displays message in the message line of the netbeans ide. Sometimes aside the three icones.
	The All files tab was enabled and message displayed aside the three icons.
	I clicked on the Current File tab and the message was then displayed in the message line, at the bottom of the main windows.
9. Filters are not IMHO sufficient : You can't create filter depending on priority or filter depending on place where Strings are found (in COMMENT or NOT in COMMENT). 
10. Icons have nice colors.
11. I never succes to use netbeans after launching the TODO window. So, for me, it failed. 
12. I prefered the old way where I could choose the directory and ask to scan for that directory. I really found stupid the approach to have only choice between Parse All Filesystems  or parse just the current file.
13. I finally receive a lot of Parser Error: Out of Memory Exception. And Impossible to stop it, except by killing NetBeans.
*********** Exception occurred ************ at Wed Dec 17 03:44:23 CET 2003
Annotation: Parser error
[catch]java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
==>
WARNING - ErrorManager detected cyclic exception nesting:
        java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
Be sure not to annotate an exception with itself, directly or indirectly.
14. Each time I select Window TODOs, system open a new TODO window and restart parsing on all filesystems in place of displaying the existing TO DO window. Before it has normal that it opened a new TODO window because you can have a TODO window for each filesystems for example. But now, you have all or nothing, so it's totally stupid to open a totally new window and restart parsing on all filesystems.
15. It must clearly be improved. I begin to regret to old implementation.
