The most sluggish and annoying application by far on my Mac. Should be really free (and not pretending to be free) at this early stage of its evolution.
It was only when MuMenu went dead for a couple of days that I have realized how much I am used to this tiny elegant application. This is then easily transformed into 5 stars on the Pink Panther scale.
Features: Looks nice.
Ease of Use: Apparently very easy, if I only had a chance to use it... Unable to establish connection to my incoming mail server. Same problem on three different Macs (OSX 10.4.6) at three different locations (Apple Mail has been checked to work fine).
Value: Pay $15 at this stage? You must be kidding...
Stability: Freezes often. Once dimmed, no way to force quit. Needs restart.
Problems: (i) Stays always on top of all screens. (ii) Way too wide menu icon.
My conclusion: I intend to purchase once things get fixed.
What about Tomorrow's Calendar?
High Priority is a must. Simple, elegant, and tenable. I would encourage the developer to generalize this beauty to include (say) tomorrow's calendar. At the end of the process, iCal may become (indirectly)something one can enjoy working with...
Longer List Please!
I love this handy MUmenu. Elegant and very useful. I would encourage the developer though to make the list of new applications longer, or even better, to allow the user to control the list length via the preferences.
Another suggestion is to color the licenses (e.g. free - blue, shareware - yellow, demo - red). Coloring the text in the opened menu (for such an option, see for example 'high priority') would make Mumenu more attractive/pleasing to the eye.
Seems to be a nice and useful application, not as elegant as (say ) gmail notifier though. But ufortunately, I cannot even try it... when attempting to put in my email serever address, I immediately get the annoying message:
"An exception of class NilObjectException was not handled. The application must shut down".
The developer has been notified.

A nice idea, but I would encourage the developer to change the misleading name.

Tex-Edit Plus X
Nothing to to do with Tex or LaTex.
Why not changing to "Text-Edit Plus X"?
