Hillman and Steve, you both should open a new thread where you would detail your respective use of application / “workflow”, I think both ideas are quite exceptional in this forum, far from the “usual suspects” mentioned here over and over again (and this in spite of the fact that this forum doesn’t (technically) permit screenshots).

As for IS/LO, “workflow”/interaction would be of the highest interest, whilst for ChI, it would be interesting to know which shortcomings you have to live with, and also what is your experience with the current version (of which users say it’s a nightmare, see cnet.com and other other for (obviously legitimate) user comments).

I think ChI is one of the most beautiful Windows applications, and for me personally, that’s a very strong argument for software. But then, ChI does not seem to have too much functionality at the end of the day (cf. 2 different top-ten-reviews.com comparisons where it appears), and then, there seem to be all those bugs, etc. they seem to have introduced into their very latest version, whilst previous ones seem to have been perfectly stable.

(In fact, I liked my ChI trial (previous version) so much, visually, that I often wished to buy it and to do some “work” with it, and then waited for a (possibly more complete) new version, and now, those user reviews I read, make me flinch, and how could it be otherwise. And then, there is always the problem how it will react when there is really much data in it, independently of its possible inadequate/insufficient processing ability for that data.)
