Thank you God! An Alternative! [Posted on 2002-12-30]
A very intuitive program compared to others...very easy to learn. I use an IBM with this preloaded for home use along with Windows/2K. Approach database is much friendlier and does great meaningful searches, HTML is rendered in a much more efficient realistic code(It works with Frontpage). Tired of the yearly exponential "improvements" of the others which very few ever make use of. Let's face it..if you don't use a feature regularly...it's gone! I've read that the newest version does a better job with e-mail and was happy also to read that IBM/Domino is backing this product up...I've used Lotus since the 123 dos spreadsheet days...always a Great price and takes minimal HDD space...I am forced to use Microsoft at work..and feel more at home and less frustrated...at home with Lotus.

still tops in the field [Posted on 2003-01-03]
I've been using the wordprocessor component of this suite, wordpro, since it first came out as Ami pro... it was the very first wordprocessor written from the ground up for windows 3, the first pc gui word processor. It's still the best.

The whole suite beats the others in every way... I've used them all, and this one remains my favorite

Lotus Smartsuite Highly Underrated [Posted on 2003-01-23]
I've been using components of Lotus Smartsuite since the demise of Visicalc (and THAT goes back a long way.) Compared to other software, Lotus is easier to use, crashes WAY less often (almost never, in fact), handles complicated formatting better, and is all-around easier to use.

Lotus 1-2-3 is, hands-down, the fastest spreadsheet program to use. Gone are the ridiculous required mouse movements that infest other programs. A simple /-command and I've reformatted, moved, copied, pasted entire columns, rows or sheets. I can keep my hands on the keys and finish my work, rather than figure out why some editing commands are under "edit" and others are under "font" and others are under "format" - ugh!

WordPro is far superior to other "Word" processors for many of the same reasons. I prepare an exhaustive audit and budget report each year with embedded charts and tables. I once mistakenly tried to migrate it to Word, but simply could not tolerate Word's eccentricities. Why did that graphic link to the page and not the paragraph? Why does inserting a line make this graphic move UP and the other graphics move DOWN? Where are the formatting commands - aAArgh! WordPro gives me none of that headache.

Given the choice, I would choose SmartSuite over any office suite out there. It helps me get more work done - period.

Exceptional Design and Cross Platform Adaptability [Posted on 2003-02-06]
The seamless way that the parts communicate without taking over your computer is a testament to Lotus's design standards. Never crashes, easy to script and adapt your own programs, and has exceptional capacity for intuitive graphical design. All parts outperform the MS Office Suite. Powerpoint is a poor cousin , as well, to Freelance Graphics.

SmartSuite Millenium Edition 9.7 [Posted on 2004-10-20]
SmartSuite is by far the best suite available because of the compatibility it has with other suites as well as the good price. I've been a Lotus user since the Lotus 123 Ver 2 days of DOS. Its easy to learn and use and for someone who start using spreadsheets and wordprocessing the learning curve is very small. Keep up the good work Lotus/IBM!!!!!!
