It works like a charm for Perl programmers!
I use it at work and at home to develop my perl script and it's great!

Not my favorite program by any means, but the Cusp Lisp plugin is far more accessible than Emacs.

In my opinion Sandvox is the tool to setup webpages which shall look good but where you
don't want to fiddle with the nitty gritty details like CSS and pixel-precise image placement.

The construction of web sites is simple and intuitive, it took me only some minutes to prepare
and upload my first site with a nice gallery!

The Tech Support is excellent, the removal of bugs is fast!

This is one of the slickest web site creation apps I have seen. It is well designed and some easy as heck GUI. I have Rapidweaver, and although it has more features and customization tools, you just cant beat the simplicity of Sandvox. I am really considering buying this app. What a great way to get a basic site up and running in no time.

I have struggled with iWeb for a while when trying to do a little bit more with a website. Recently, when putting a site together for our Church I found the range of designs and options a bit limited. Also, with the Church already having a hosting agreement, trying to convince iWeb to upload to their host was impossible.

I tried out Sandvox and found that the range of designs was a lot better, that it was just as easy, if not easier, to create and maintain the site and uploading to virtually any host was a breeze.

Particularly nice was the little extras with Google, where you can link up with the Site Maps, analytics etc.

Sandvox is very easy to use and can produce excellent results. It's not just for the uninitiated when it comes to web development either, you can get in and edit the raw HTML if you want. I found I had to in order to put a table in to the text, but I am sure this is the sort of thing they will add in the future.

Too many times designers forgot what good websites are all about. It isn't about flashiness or expensive graphic design. It's about putting the information the customer wants coherently in front of them. Sandvox gets you there fast. I used Sandvox pro to redo our simple website/online catalog (the ecommerce portion is in ProductCart). It works well, lives nicely on my .asp server, and gets the job done quickly --important because my primary role is not designing websites.

I made the switch to Sandvox after I upgraded RapidWeaver and lost two websites due to all of the bugs! Not quite as powerful as RW, but much more reliable, and still creates slick, professional-looking websites. I now use this for my church and school websites-it does everything I need and more. Great for beginners or the experienced webmaster.

Sandvox is truly remarkable, and what’s more there’s unlimited time to play with the software before any money exchanges hands. Incredible value for money and a truly professional company who responds promptly to every email I send. Thanks also to the people at Sandvox for recommending ‘A2Hosting’. I was so nervous when the moment came to send the files. As a novice, it was hard to believe that the site would go up without a hitch, but it did. Do check it out: http://www.barryjwale.com

I was especially pleased about the many video clips that I’ve uploaded. They are very fast and the quality superb. To tweak any part of my site is so easy as well. It takes seconds to upload the changes and it’s becoming rather addictive - I can’t stop tinkering with the web pages! Pathetic eh?

Never found it easier to handle eBay auctions!

What a great product- I've done the occasional ebay auction over the years, but I've started using this and have earned a couple hundred bucks selling old items around the house- interface, usability, and incredibly professional look of the templates makes it a breeze. And, I think when you are relatively new and have low feedback scores, the professional look of the auctions helps people's confidence in what you are selling.

The handling of RAW pictures is really simple and intuitive.
I can't compare it to Aperture or CS Bridge, but for a newbie in Digital Imaging it is
a really good tool which i never want to miss.
Sorting, comparing and selecting of images is simple (but powerful!).

Small thing, but it's now called "Photoshop Lightroom" (or maybe Adobe Photoshop Lightroom?).

Lightroom is simply one of the most wonderful apps I own. Fast and flexible, it makes managing my photo's a breeze, very powerful cataloguing, tagging and metadata handling. The Develop module simply rocks, awesomely powerful Adobe Camera Raw with twiddles on top allows great creative control. I've demoed Aperture, Bibble and Capture One but Lightroom has them beat overall.

One word - Productivity - I have tried them all and there is not another application that handles nearly every aspect of the photographers workflow. A must have app in any serious photographers toolbelt.

i like lightroom a lot. i have many presets that i installed with ease. i just wish there was a border (frame) plug-in for photos so i wouldn't always have to run to photoshop for that.

I find the Lightroom UI to be messy and showy rather than out of your way and functional...I much prefer Aperture, though Aperture needs to adopt core image filter support, then I'll hardly even need Photoshop except for fancy art-filters...
