Has the worst memory management of any software I've ever used.
I have to reboot at lest 10 times a day when I use it. The support
forum on their site is filled with complaints on this issue. Their response
to this issue was not to fix the memory leak (or whatever it is) but to
issue a warning when resources are getting dangerously low to give
you the opportunity to save all your work before you reboot. Beyond
that, their stance is "Well, if you don't like it, return it and we'll give
you a refund".
If this wasn't the only piece of software that handled projects the way
we needed, we'd have thrown out this piece of garbage software a *long*
time ago.
