I've found their interface extremely easy and natural. It lets me enter data so quickly that it's no real problem. No, the program does not support the mouse as well as other Amiga programs, but it is not the sort of program you *want* to run with a mouse. Doing data entry and manipulation my alternating beween the mouse and keyboard would be distilled frustration. Instead, Phasar has what I consider to be one of the best keyboard interfaces I've seen. As good as Mandelvroom supports intuition, Phasar supports intuitive data entry. I bought the program nearly two years ago, and have been a happy user since. I wanted to provide another point of view towards the software.
