It works very well. It is easy to use and reasonably intuitive. I haven't used
123 or Always, so I can't compare.

Yes

The documentation is much better -- almost twice as thick and more readable
and complete.

The new macro/merge facilities offer some really interesting possibilities
of executable text. A significant imporvement.

The mouse support is very nice for those things that you don't use often
enough to have memorized. For the everyday functions, keystrokes are much
faster than moving your hand to the mouse.

There are hundreds of improvements and new features, but the major stuff
is tables, macros, merge and mouse. Absolutely worth the $85 upgrade cost.
