I have used EndNote for the Mac for well over ten years. The functionality is such that I needed to use it regardless of how bad the interface was. Beginning with X the functionality improved. In X1 the functionality has continued to improve but, amazingly, so has the interface. I have been using it for two days and am still finding new things to like. This is the first time I have been really happy about an EndNote upgrade in about 5 years.

I do not have the time, nor is this the place, to write a complete review. But if you used EndNote in the past despite itself, you can rest assure that someone at ISI has finally taken the design of interactivity as serious as the functionality. I really like this version.

I am not rating the Support/Documentation as I have not used that part of the system and probably will not. I am not sure that I should have paid $100 to upgrade since I just did that last year. But, that $100 was more worthwhile than the upgrade to v8 or vX.

Hope this helps someone.
