Apple Numbers 1.0.1

Although I greatly appreciate the design and usability (far better than Excel), Numbers is absolutely too slow when working with large datasets (>10,000 rows of data). Specifically, Find and Save are much, much slower than Excel 2004 (MacBook 2.16 GHz with 2 GB RAM, OSX 10.4.10). Its nice for making and formatting lots of small tables, but for analyzing large datasets... unusable.

Nisus Writer Express 2.7

Great writing tool. Almost prime time, although at this point still a fantastic writing tool for basic writing, drafts, and the like.

Only reason to use word for me is track changes. Also, to ensure compatibility (I opened the finished document in Word, save as Word file, then send it).

Otherwise, its great, I like the interface, has most of the features I need, and is fas, responsive, and stable. A little slow to start up, though.

Outstanding.

Just wrote a book chapter for a medical text using scrivener.

Awesome. The writing tool I've finally been looking for!

I write scientific articles.

Try it out, you'll love it.

Bookends 9.1

Great software. Very mac-like, tons of features, robust, fast and flexible, and an EXTREMELY responsive and helpful developer.

Totally ditched EndNote. Absolutely no use for it.

Would love it if it integrated a little better with Nisus, but it is well integrated with Word, and apparently Mellel.

Cons: Interface could use a little polishing.

I haven't found any significant problems except when I created a unique format the code didn't work exactly as predicted, but was able to do a workaround. Could be my fault, though.
