  • expensive
  • hard to get used to
  • buggy
  • often slow
  • aimed at those who manage large translation projects rather than individual translators.

I can offer no opinion of my own, other than not being surprised, but I shall certainly be in no hurry to upgrade.

In fact so far I have not seen one single comment to the effect that it would have any value at all for me. Anybody want to make one here?

I would be delighted to receive evidence to the contrary, but in the meantime would advise anyone to refuse work offers from her.
I will not bog the blog down with details – if you want to know, I have a full record.
It only cost me EUR 80 to discover this – I would hate anyone to lose a substantial amount just to learn the same lesson!
