Personally I think tally sucks from UI point of view and wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole even if gifted free(Did not check the windows version but it is no differnt that dos version I hear)..
If by UI you mean usability I can assure you that you are wrong. I have seen experienced Tally users working. The usability is quite good. Most of the commands are keyboard driven. It has incremental search etc. My CA uses these keyboard commands so fast that I can hardly see the intermediate screens.
I agree. I actually find Tally quite a user friendly UI. The colours in the Windows version (5.4) are a bit garish, but apart from that the usability is excellent.
Tally is not meant as a personal accounting software, so you have to know double-entry book-keeping principles and a host of other accounting nightmares to even use it a little bit.
However for some reason, experienced users prefer using the old DOS version more than the windows version.
Found out why the hard way. Seems that after the DOS version (4.5) there was a not-so-distributed 5.0 release. Now, the Windows version (5.4) cannot import data directly from 4.5, apart from ledgers and their opening balances, unless it is first converted to 5.0.
So, people who have using 4.5 for a long time, countinue to keep on using it.
