Looks to me like all this hype about WW is just that, hype. I have never seen
Softwood flame Digita but I have seen Digita flame Softwood more than once. I
don't want to buy software from a company that feels it necessary to post
negative comments on a competitor. If individuals want to do that, fine, but
when a competitor does this with a condescending/sarcastic attitude it turns
me off to their product.
