Well it is a lot of work to convert sources to SourceWriter I've converted some but only where I've been checking better images or run a report and realised I'm not happy with the basic source. My sourcing when I started left much to be desired - and then there were the times I was lazy and entered just enough in the Master Source for me to know what I meant but not enough for someone else.
I mostly use the SourceWriter now for new sources but I'm very flexible in how I use the templates to get the result I want. Mills may be great for US sources but she doesn't seem even to follow her own principles all the time with the sources for other countries. The Added and Modified dates have always been there in Legacy. You can search on them as well. Great to be able to see how many people you've added in the last week/month/year/5 years ... or how many you've updated.
