"Summerfest" Mac Software Sale

I’ll take the bait.

Tinderbox is overpriced if what you want to do less than what Tinderbox does. So, avoid it. I wouldn’t buy Mathematica if I needed a calculator. Same difference.

But if you really need to get a big, complex, vaguely defined but career-critical note-based task done (like a book, or a dissertation, or a research project) then it’s worth it.

In my view, Tinderbox is for professional heavy duty writers, academics, researchers, and consultants. It is extraordinarily complicated but once mastered it is extraordinarily different than any other Mac software. It’s not a replacement for anything else because it is not like anything else. Unfortunately, Eastgate decided to market it as “the tool for notes”. Bad choice of words, in opinion.
