I'm not a huge fan of "Just" progress bars.<br><br>I definitely prefer ones that give a text readout of what step it's on and I love ones that are just a text based readout of what is happening, what has happened, and MAYBE a progress percentage. If they have that (like a lot of Linux programs do) then I don't usually care if there's a "bar" or not.<br><br>It's especially helpful if you're trying to troubleshoot something and it gets hung in the same spot every time. Progress bars usually have little to no readout about the actual process being done, so if something actually goes wrong it's even harder to figure out what it is because instead of a readout of the process, the developer has opted for a visual bar.
