No, Rick, it's NOT just you!  I really HATED the changes they made to
the software last year and have really been on the fence about whether
to order it again this year.  All that CRAP that they added to help you
fill out the forms is completely unnecessary, and the software itself
was really buggy.  

* I couldn't get it to print out all my forms with one
  print request - I had to "manually" print out all the forms needed to
  file.

* It was REAL screwy with the menus - putting two or more menu items for
  what should have been one form.

I TRULY LOVED MacInTax before ChipSoft got their grubby hands on it.  It
was so easy, so elegant.

I've used MacInTax for 4 or 5 years now, and I think that's as far as
I'll go.

What are the alternatives?  Any recommendations?
