Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

And furthermore, for me there is no difference in the basic, detailed, or highly detailed level of program output.

And still more... this thing phones home every startup, with no way to turn it off in prefs (Little Snitch to the rescue). What is it doing exactly... version check... or something more sinister?

I'll check it out again at v4 or so. 2.1 is waaaay too far away from anything useful.

It probably is checking for a new version when it phones home. That is listed as a new feature in this version. I agree, it does need some improvements. My beef is with the window size not saving the next time I launch the application and having to enter my password almost anytime I do something. The icons could be a bit brighter too. Still, it saves the trouble of having to do everything from the command-line.
