I was a fanatic on this exact subject for about two years. :-) Now, I just study. :-) I bought, if memory serves, four commercial programs and tried out many of the free ones. My choice was mnemosyne. First, I prefer open source; I loathe the idea of passively submitting to a "black box" whose judgement I can't verify for myself. And I have no reason to suspect that mnemosyne will switch to commercial/closed. Of the open source programs, I appreciate the clarity of mnemosyne's python code, which I can read for myself and thus understand perfectly without depending on some marketing verbiage etc. Also, just as others here will say, I like the clean interface. About algorithms: I worked very hard on every aspect of this matter, and my advice is to avoid wasting the time that I did, and just trust the program and don't worry about it. (How can I say that when I just said I like understanding for myself how it works? Well, for one thing, I'm not trying to sell you something... ) Compatibility? Just trust and commit to one program. Much more to say, no time. End.
