First of all let me say that I am a big fan of Bibleworks. I've used it since the early 2000s. I own Bibleworks 8. Additionally, I have a massive Logos collection. While Logos does great at pulling resources together for relatively quick study, when it comes to good-old-fashioned Bible study I have never really found it as good as Bibleworks.
In our household we are Mac users. I was running Windows 7 on my Macbook via VMFusionware and I had Bibleworks loaded within that. (I love Bibleworks so much that I paid for both VM Fusionware AND a Windows license just so I could run it!) However, about a year ago I had a complete harddrive crash and had to get a new one. I lost Windows 7 and VMFusionware... and Bibleworks. I made the decision to not get a new windows licence because Bibleworks was the only thing for which I was using it. I figured that the new (at the time) native Mac feature of Bibleworks would be sufficient. But then I heard about some of my friends having issues with it and I decided to hold out until Bibleworks 10 in order to give them time to work out the bugs. I figured that since (from a year ago) Bibleworks 9 was already a few years old, they'd surely be releasing Bibleworks 10 in the near future in order to keep up with the pace of technology. I've been waiting a year.
And I'm tired of waiting. Both Logos and Accordance are feature rich, have iPad apps, etc. Bibleworks needs to step it up and quick.
So I'm looking into Accordance. I've downloaded their demo version and I'm reading the "how-to" articles.
I'd appreciate insights from those who have used both Bibleworks and Accordance. For purposes of this post I'M NOT CONCERNED WITH ESWORD OR WHATEVER OTHER POOR-MAN'S VERSION FOR WHICH YOU WANT TO BE AN ADVOCATE. I'm only interested in insights about Accordance from individuals who've used both Bibleworks and Accordance. I'm specificially wanting feedback about what features/capabilities I might miss if I transition to Accordance, what I might appreciate, etc.
Thanks!
