I'm still using Unison 1.8.1 and am quite satisfied for what I use it
for... mainly DLing NZB binaries. I'm still using MTNW for text
communication on usenet and Thoth for DLing non-NZB binaries.

I tried Unison 2 but didn't see any compelling reason to upgrade.

What do you think?

Thanks

Doug

No real reason for that, no.

I got a lot of display problems with Unison after upgrading, and heard
others also had this. No real functionality improvements in my opinion.

I have removed it, and went back to MT-Newswatcher :-)

It's really a different program from 1.8 from my perspective. You might
like it bettter. On the other hand you might like it less.

I think they've spent a lot of time getting the binary thing working
better, but I don't do that very much. At least I haven't done it with
Unison 2 yet.

Oh decisions for other people are so difficult!

I really like version 2. It makes the usenet experience very friendly.
Also I like having everything in 1 window, not a bunch just floating
around the screen.

I agree. Unison is rather smooth and well thought out. I'm getting more
and more used to it.

I came from the windoze world of newsreaders and always had a 1 window
layout. I tried MT-Newswatcher when I switched to Mac newsreading and
all those separate windows are too distracting and detract from the
experience of trying to read posts. Thunderbird seems to come the
closest to Unison but is not as enjoyable to use.
