Fed up with software that charges you for each feature separately?
Annoyed by companies that require you to purchase their software for thousands of dollars, and then charge additional fees for technical support and version updates?
Tired of hard-to-use DOS-based programs that have steep learning curves?
Frustrated when your software feature requests go unheard?
Needing something more than antiquated software that doesn't utilize a modern user interface?
