I own WfP, because it only cost something like €50 for both licenses instead of one, but I've never used it and don't really understand the point of developing another normal CAT that is unlikely to be better than all of the others and very likely to be worse than some. I've never understood the point of the freeware Wf Anywhere either.
If Wordfast has decided that Visual Basic is a dead end in terms of where CATs are now going or if they've just lost interest, I wish they would sell WfC off to someone who cares about it and let them develop and maintain it.

I've never seen the point of WFP or Anywhere either, but WFC still works fine for me. It does everything I want or need it to, even though I don't use many of the functions. For example, I've never found the glossary function to be useful. For now, I'm quite happy to just keep a backup PC with Office 2010 installed so that I can work with Excel and PowerPoint as well as Word when the need arises. The last time was a few weeks ago.
