I had posted this under What would you like to see in Bibleworks 11?, but then someone suggested that this should probably have its own thread. So, here it is again under its own thread:
Hi everybody,
I have a controversial question, but nevertheless a very honest one. And I hope somebody might be able to give me a good answer. I have been a faithful user since BW7.0. Presently I own BW10. However, I also use Logos a lot, which has come a long way since its early years. I have now arrived at a point where I truly ask myself, why would I want to keep upgrading BW? I recently upgraded to BW10 but now I wonder, why on earth did I do that? I could kick myself for wasting the money because I really just upgraded out of habit. But I am completely unable to defend that decision if someone were to ask me what BW gives me in addition to Logos.
So here is the question I have for the forum: Is there anything that can be done in BW with Greek and Hebrew texts, that can not be done equally well or even better in Logos? ... Please don't misunderstand, this is not to dis BW in any way, but when I look at the extremely powerful Visual filters and in-depth word analysis tools of Logos, which also happen to be graphically very pleasing, then I truly ask myself, what does BW still have to offer besides perhaps some interactive photographs from original manuscripts? Perhaps I don't know BW well enough to appreciate having it alongside Logos, but then the marketing people at BW are not doing a good job convincing people like me.
So, I'd really like to hear from those of you who also own and work with Logos 7?
