Hi, Personally, I'm not convinced that later versions offer all that much improvement over older versions. Keep in mind that predicting intervals is a heuristic anyway, and not an exact science. Additionally, Supermemo is commercial software, so having a new scheduler each release is a nice commercial selling point :-)
Finally, Mnemosyne is built in a very modular fashion, so if somebody wants to write a plugin with a different scheduler, that's entirely possible.

Hi everyone! I'm new here. I've been using spaced repetition software for quite a while with the "repetitions" app, and later on switched to the new tinycards app from the creators of duolingo. However, the webapp limitation to have only 150 cards per collection is really frustrating me and I've been evaluating anki or mnemosyne as a new flashcard app. I've noticed, though, that both anki and mnemosyne seem to use something called SM 2 algorithm to calculate the frequency of repetition. However, I've also seen that SuperMemo (creators of the sm algorithm?) works with a much newer version. Upon doing some more research I came across this site that explains what has been improved with each iteration. https://www.supermemo.com/help/smalg.htm#Historic_note:_earlier_releases_of_the_algorithm It all sounds good and the latest versions seem to improve the older versions in very convenient ways. Now I'm also intrigued about using supermemo, but I still do like some featurese that mnemosyne has, like different types of cards so that I can add pronunciation to the words that I learn in other languages. What's the reason behind sticking to version 2 of SM? I can't help but to feel like we're missing optimizations. I want to pick a new flashcard software ASAP but this makes it quite hard.
