  39. Actual situation: . Papers are based on 2-6 visibility measurements only, . UT time pressure, . ATs commissioning in progress, . Limiting magnitude problems (no fringe tracker…) . Interesting science only with a coupling with classical techniques (polarimetry, spectroscopy, radio imaging…) . The progress will be slow: . The VLTI is now almost crystallized, . We have to ‘learn and understand’ the VLTI . Give access to broad community, Success: Only interferometer worldwide offered in Open Time! . Pionnier in extragalactic studies, mid-IR regime and high spectral resolution,
