Digital BW, The Print

Said much better than I.  I agree whole-heartedly.  But you forgot to
say that it still has a life-time upgrade policy, so the value just
keeps on coming.  I guess that marks me as an enthusiast.

There are a lot of small programs around that do things that PSCS2
already does - Qimage, Imatch, PTGui, Downloader Pro, Rawshooter. 
These succeed because the Swiss army knife that is PSCS2 doesn't do
everything well.  I would have argued that using an all-in-one program
is a choice for convenience over functionality.
