    When I tested this product… oh… I’d say maybe a year or so ago… it exhibited such odd behaviors, and its logic was just do convoluted, that I uninstalled it.  And I don’t mean that I didn’t like it because of the ribbon interface.  I completely understand how to use ribbon interfaces in whatever software comes with it.  It’s not that.  There were (and, of course, I can’t now remember them) several things which were just so counter-intuitive that I just assumed that the program’s author was so young and inexperienced, and knew so little about good user interface and elements of usability that I just wrote it off…

    …for whatever that’s worth.
