i would say it's a matter of taste. Maybe i like it/i prefer it because it is *the* original. TR is quite
legendary with its long tradition and old

usership. Similar situation: the legendary
ghisler.com's
Windows Commander (now: Total Commander) vs.
M$'s Windows Explorer. Total Commander is so much more sophisticated than
explorer.exe but in the end we use both for the same primitive functions: copy, move, rename

There are ppl who simply
like TC and others who
like Windows Explorer. For doing the same daily work.
As mentioned, i've acquired personal licenseship for both tools. Some ppl prefer HEINZ KETCHUP only because the sticker on the bottle says HEINZ THE ORIGINAL and not because it actually tastes better than the discounter's generic.
