I could not agree more with your well said comment. At best, TP9 is beta software sold as a finished product. I consider TP an indispensable application with each new version an improvement over the last - until the disaster of TP8. TP9 has made some progress but it seems for every step forward we get three steps back. So many of the basic features are broken and there is no apparent attempt to fix any of them. To me, other than the new but painfully slow database, there is no compelling reason to consider TP9. This adventure has been on going since early 2008. Six years. Ugh.
