Hi David,
First off, thank you so much for all the work you've done both with Cardo,
and with dGSD before that.
It's all the above. Fundamentally I have never developed a feel for TW5. I
have no problem getting under the hood of TWC and tweaking, adding,
modifying, etc. I've tried TW5 and have not developed that level of
competence. For a while I would try but eventually always ended up going
back to my already-working, tuned-to-my-workflow TWCs (plural). Part of
that is due to the general lack of documentation that was available when I
was trying to migrate, back when TW5 was just becoming usable. Not to say
that I do not tremendously appreciate what Jeremy and everyone else has
done to build and develop the core TW5, but I have not warmed to it.
For me then, that puts Cardo at a bit of disadvantage from the start. Over
the years I have developed my workflow around dGSD, and conversely modified
my dGSD to suite my workflow. Both have evolved in concert to where they
have converged to something that works well for me. Cardo is different
enough to introduce a bunch of little hickups that it feels awkward and
unfamiliar to me. Couple that with my ineptitude of tweaking TW5 and I feel
a little frustrated and hamstrung. As long as I have a tool that's working
well, it's hard to abandon it and adopt another. And in the transition
period, until I felt confident that Cardo was working for me, I'd need to
maintain two tools in parallel. That just adds another layer of complexity.
And finally, even if I did feel comfortable in TW5 & Cardo, it would still
be quite a task to populate a new Cardo with all my dGSD tiddlers without
an automated migration tool. Building it all back by hand would be very
painful.
So once again, thanks! I hope this helps explain. I'm not saying Cardo is
not a great tool. But (so far) it just hasn't worked for me as well as dGSD
has. And I freely acknowledge that that's just one person's opinion,
nothing more. One day when I'm feeling froggy I may give it another go.
Cheers!
Rob
