My experience mirrors yours, Dominik. I am relieved to say that for the first time in many years, I have moved all my data from FF, IE, Zoot, EccoPro, ADM & ADC into one place—URp. I’m still on the learning curve but I’m finding the current version more intuitive than earlier versions.

I feel relieved that it’s all in one place & have some level of confidence because of URp’s feature set. OTOH I’m holding my breath that doing all this work was the right decision. ADM was such a disappointment but I’m so glad to be free of it at last.

Do I wish URp had a some other bells & whistles? Yes, but IMO, even in it’s present form, it’s a very capable knowledgebase & has become the electronic center of my day-to-day life (except for photgraphy).
