Surreal has a couple of quite nice features which Cushy lacks or
lacked but to be honest can't remember what they are/were. Both are
technically very similar.


I've been playing about with Cushy for several months and starting
rolling it out on client sites late last year. Those who are using it
are perfectly happy and if they need something more elaborate later
it's no hassle.

(In fact a couple have ditched Contribute in favour of Cushy, partly
because it's simpler, and partly because Adobe are increasingly taking
the piss in the UK at least with Contribute pricing.

Contribute has essentially doubled in cost in 4 versions, and I think
I'm correct in saying the current upgrade costs more than the original
v1. Is it worth it? No.

(Particular pain in the butt for me since I maintained Contribute on
both Mac and Windows so clients were in a familiar environment when I
was teaching them how to use it).


There are a couple of things I'd like to see added to Cushy, but I
know at least one will be and one is a much requested feature, so
probably will be implemented in due course.

There's quite a vibrant community via a user group and the Cushy guys
seem an amiable crew, so that's where I've put my cash - I have the
'pro' account so the editor is branded as 'Flying Solo.'

Vanity really I suppose since I give it away free anyway, but it's a
nice touch and it's the details which make the difference.
