I have never used qtVLM. But can see both sides. I live in Canada to use digital charts i am forced to use BSBv4 or spend 10X the price with the disclaimer that they can not be used for navigation, Since i will not use Windows. I am forced to use Wine with openCPN Windows version. I would prefer the option of using this plugin in Linux. But the main reason i have used linux as my operating system is because it is open source, Linux is stable, secure, powerful and democratic because of all the eyes on the code and if i don't like some thing i can change it. I understand openCPN and respect their view to allow pugins for the windows version and not Linux.
I have used openplotter for a bit now and even bought Tar a 1976 Tanzer 26 sailboat so i could use it.
Having said that I do not have an issue with a plugin that is separate from the code as long as i have choice. It is your baby.
When i have a hard time with a decision, if it feels funny, i walk away you can always change your mind, most of the time, maybe. But i am a ginger.
