I’ve been using the Deluxe version for many months now, and, as it has been incrementally improved, I can not longer make a good comparison of its feature set again the older 5.x version.

I don’t use the keywords option (I don’t use it in any program). Tables are very important for me. Table support is rather awkward in Whizfolders Deluze because it has to happen outside the rtf interface (as the rtf engine doesn’t directly support it). It is useful for making small adjustments to existing tables, but for any more complex changes I find it simpler to cut and paste the table to MS Word, make the changes, then cut and paste it back to Whizfolders.

The template option is useful, and I like the fact that the template button sits permanently to the right of the screen, like the keywords button, to fly out the templates window whenever required. I think this has been implemented far better in Whizfolders Deluxe than, for example, in OneNote, where templates are too many clicks away for my liking.

If one were just to look at the price angle, I don’t think that the improvements are worth the hike per se; but Sanjay, and many of his users (myself included) felt that the software (even the 5.x version) was underpriced, and this is the reason for the price hike.

Hope this helps (more!)
