Help Me Merlin-Wan Kenobi, You're My Only Hope (Entourage vs. iCal/Mail/Address Book)
macfixer | Feb 28 2006
Merlin, I feel you when I say that I've tried and tried to like using Apple's trio of productivity apps. But I cannot kick the Entourage habit. I like my full contact history, the links between messages, the Palm Sync, and launching one app instead of three. You've mentioned some of those same things on 43f, and I was wondering how you made it to using the triumvirate without feeling all weird. I've tried to use Apple's offerings in the past and it all just felt clunky. //k 14 Comments

 I always look at these...Submitted by Merlin Also on March 1, 2006 - 8:07am.
I always look at these things as fairly personal decisions, in that there's not really one right tool for all purposes and people. Is there a reason you want or need not to use Entourage? I guess I'd counsel not to quit something that's working for you. I got back into iCal (which does indeed suck for a modern PIM) just because kGTD does so much of my heavy lifting now. If I had to rely on iCal alone to run my world I'd lose it. Yeah, I loved/hated using Entourage. To me it's the ultimate "clunky" OS X app -- esp. since it defies so many conventions and refuses to work with the bajillion keyboard commands that most apps use. BUT, it does work for lots of people. Just depends on what you need to do, you know? » POSTED IN:
