As a long time DF reader, I treat Gruber's software endorsements with more than a grain of salt (even his apparently unsponsored ones). I can't remember the name of the product, but one Ui editing program he endorsed was unbelievably bad.

Yeah, same here, from someone who's a fan otherwise. He's had some dogs, but the one that stood out to me was some weather app (not Dark Sky, which is excellent) a year or so ago. It was pretty, which I image is what caught his eye. Too bad it was crap for predicting the weather, or even getting the local temperature right for that matter. I really wondered if he ever used it for its intended purpose.
