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.
