I've been a registered user of Earthdesk since v2.6 and upgraded at v3.0. However, I cannot justify to myself buying an upgrade to 4.0 when I am not getting any more functionality.
So I have sadly switched over to OSXPlanet, and I haven't regretted it at all. In fact, it's very good, and I haven't missed Earthdesk at all.

I have used both of these products, and in my opinion, OSX Planet looks BETTER than EarthDesk. Both programs have almost the same functionality (I actually like the options on OSX Planet more), so I'm sticking with OSX Planet. It's not just the price; even if they were both free, my decision would be the same. But the fact that the program I like more is less expensive is just icing on the cake.
EarthDesk will have to pull something special out of their next version if they want to charge people for a program that isn't as nice as a free one.

Can't recommend if it stays this buggy.
