What do you dislike?
What i dislike about this software is that it does not come with inbuilt explanation notes that helps to understand the full functionality of some tools.Some tools are not clearly explained in detail on how to use them except you source for videos . The simulation of the software requires that the user makes to many clicks in downloading ,running and toggling.These process should be made faster and less strenuous as programmers will need to run and test codes frequently.
