- I have to agree that Stefan's product is one of the best I've ever purchased.
- I've been using it since the early beta releases and have never had any reason
- to complain. He also has a professional version though the standard version
- will probably meet the needs of most home developers. I did recently persuade
- management here to purchase the professional verison of HWA after considering
- a number of other products. For the cost, you can't beat HWA and I have yet
- to find a product that has any significant advantage in features.
