Criticism
Onno Tijdgat, author of Ircle, criticized mIRC's color format, arguing that it uses a flawed design and follows no common standard. Khaled Mardam-Bey responded, stating that there was no common standard between IRC clients at the time, so using any one existing format would "have annoyed those clients that didn't use that particular format". Ultimately this led Mardam-Bey to create a new format designed for ease of use, however he acknowledged that "the design should have been more robust".

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“To be just, that is to say, to justify its existence, criticism should be partial, passionate and political, that is to say, written from an exclusive point of view, but a point of view that opens up the widest horizons.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“Nothing would improve newspaper criticism so much as the knowledge that it was to be read by men too hardy to acquiesce in the authoritative statement of the reviewer.”
—Richard Holt Hutton (1826–1897)
