I am currently about to hurl because
NVivo, one of the premiere qualitative analysis packages on the market, is so cumbersome and ugly. Granted, it's designed for the PC and I have to run it on Windows (that's explains part of the pain) - but is this really the best there is? A program that costs $595 for a full license and $240 for the (one-year!) student license, but can't scroll text fluidly or automatically update drop-down boxes? The only Mac competitor seems to be the free TAMS Analyzer, which I like, but it's not nearly as powerful and the awkward interface keeps it from being consumer friendly.
There are thousands of academics and evaluators in education, government, and the non-profit sector that would rejoice if someone offered a well-designed, robust qualitative analysis application that was made for the Mac and worked as smoothly as OF or OOP. In other words, if Omni built software like this I think there would be flocks of happy customers.
Thanks,
Jim
