Mark Bernstein quotes a new user who wrote this summary in the Tinderbox forum:

From time to time, I feel attracted by Tinderbox. But I do not have an application that really requires a software that powerful.

Franz, thanks for that.

I appreciate the layered explanation.

At one point there was speculation of a Windows version of Tinderbox. Have you heard anything about that lately?

I wonder if, with the recent new version of Tinderbox whether now might be the time the developers are working on something for the Windows world.

Daly.

No, I haven’t heard of a Windows version in the last years.

Thanks for the link, Franz. Although I use Tinderbox, I still find other users’ summaries of it interesting to read (although the best for a beginner remains, in my view, the series on Steve Z.‘s blog).

Daly, don’t hold your breath!

Reading the (quite short) summary Franz linked to, I think it doesn’t duplicate what Steve Z. has written, and would definitely be useful to anyone who’s considering whether to invest in the application. It’s become a commonplace to say that Tinderbox’s learning curve is steep: one value of the summary is that it lists the main stages of that curve, and illustrates very well what Steve (and others) have written - a novice user really only needs to climb as high as he or she wishes at the outset, and still will find the software of value.
