Dave doesn't care either. Asshole. No, you cannot use AcidSearch and Inquisitor at the same time. Dave doesn’t care either. Asshole.

Doesn't bother me a bit to use it. Yeah, I hear the dev is a total ass, but he does make some damn good software. Doesn’t bother me a bit to use it.

And the way some of his projects are done, like Acquisition and Inquisitor, aren't really about the technology they use -- they're about abstracting away how it all functions and simply providing a tool for the user that "just works." Some people (myself included) do like knowing how things work, but that's not quite how they were designed. The technology is there, but it's not the focus of the application; It's about getting what you want with as little hassle as possible.

You had to sniff where Inquisitor gets it's data from? I had to look through the bundle to find out that Acquisition is a Gnutella client. No information on the website, no help, no faq or support area. And no recommendation from me. In my book David Watanabe is best known for extremely closed development.
