These are my two most likely suspects, too. I wonder somtimes which
dictionary MS uses that defines 'integration' as "verb; The process of
taking otherwise satisfactorily-functioning software products and tying
them together for the benefit of increased market share despite
introducing widespread instablities that render the products
untrustworthy and cause customers to think twice about using them." I
bet the fine print in the credits has the word "Barnum" in it somewhere
:P
Third on the list is Homesite. Once that bugger goes down (usually in
conjunction with Outlook), it screws the whole system and you have to
reboot to ensure the reliability of anything you run.
While I'm on it, any of you HS fans tried Enotepad? $19.95. It's like
a version of Notepad with all the good benefits of HS. Allows colored
tags, multiple documents, maintaining explorer trees in windows, "save
as" more than .txt, and a cool little scrapbook of things you use
frequently that you can hotkey into it (like footers or menus from
projects). Downloaded a demo on a whim last week and am hooked. At
960K, it's lean and mean, and unless I'm actually doing a CF project or
something where HS's toys are useful, it gets used more often from sheer
speed.
