I was reading a post of Eric D. Brown by the title I. Love. WordPress. It was a “wow” effect, I just had to write in our blog here I. Love. WordPress too but I. Love. Merlin. more 😉

We use WordPress for our blog, and have experience from other blogging systems as well. So I am completely with Eric Brown on that. WordPress is great, but…

Merlin has an even better / warmer position in my heart. Merlin is a professional tool, one can see this at one glance…

I remember my impression of the software as I used it for the first time to create my very first project file. In Merlin everything is nice and neat. It is not over filled with features which one cannot tell how to activate or understand how they work. It is very powerful though and absolute modern.

Another thing I love about Merlin is its flexibility and customization options. If you need an example making my point more clear… here you are.

The other day we received an email in Merlin Support proposing a feature for the next version. Merlin should provide some kind of buttons or areas where a user could click to set the actual start or end date at the current time.

This feature request is of course forwarded to the development but the user doesn’t really have to wait for the next version. We have written an AppleScript and sent it to him, setting the current time of the currently selected activities to either its actual start or actual end.

If interested in the script, you will find it here.

So I hope you don’t mind me repeating… I. Love. Merlin.
