So I'm wondering if anyone has used both of these products, and how they compare in terms of features, ease of use, etc.
Gridsmith is half the cost of DJ platinum, but it only runs on Windows which means I'd have to battle my wife for her computer. DJ is supposed to have an OSX version soon, which is a plus in its favor.
To give some background on where I'm coming from, I'm looking for something that would let me make decent-looking battlemaps in a short period of time - that's why I'm looking at the tile-based programs. My favorite mapping program ever isn't CC2 or Autorealm, it's Hexmapper - simple, looks better than my hand-drawn stuff, easily readable, gets the point across, and I don't have to fiddle with a lot of weird settings.
So...who's used them both? What do you think?
