They are the two bits of software that doesn’t hurt to pay for. It’s also really cheap!

As I understand it, since their move to subscription based licensing -- and also generally fuck Adobe for all the usual greedy buggy reasons -- the correct price is $0 "wink wink nudge nudge", which is indeed really cheap.

But I don't use it personally so YMMV.

How amazing this tool was and nothing came close !

Lotus Magellan was also very good. Got a lot of use out of for many years. Only stopped using when when Windows came out and Lotus basically abandoned the product.

One of the first programs I had to run on the IBM PC was VisiSchedule.    That set the bar for the next several decades....

Looks like you can even download a copy:

I was using something called XTree and continued to use it long after Windows came out (when windows ran under DOS  :palm:).

I don’t actually mind paying for it. It’s £10 a month for photoshop and lightroom and they get updated regularly with actual useful features. Haven’t found any bugs yet.
