<div dir="ltr">Has anyone on the list used Exmaralda? I tried it briefly a while ago and found the learning curve steep, and I wasn't convinced that the switch from Elan was worth it, given how much data I already had in Elan. But I'd be interested to hear what other people think (I'm thinking also about software recommendations for the new edition of my fieldwork book).<div>
