Perhaps all I meant was sometimes, at first glance, the similarities of two differing applications outweigh their differences–and it’s hard to find that little thing that you can make your own.

Cheers Matthew, your comment has put a perspective I wasn’t thinking of.

It is interesting though how people who have something a certain way for awhile decide that they’d rather not change to something that is proven better because of a fear of change and a sense of loyalty to their or original company.

When it comes to personal accounting I think that something like that for me would be a great program…and I think I’d use them both…but I need money first.

I get where you are coming from though…You’re getting to the age where you should stop making excuses and you should start getting on the ball and doing something with your life. Personally though I am afraid of it I feel that I need to start doing the same thing. Proving to myself that I can make it and not putting myself in a position to be dependent on others to make decisions for me.

Have you ever considered teaming up with people who are creating new apps and becoming a new set of ideas in an already new concept? I think that’s a great way to get your foot in the door of starting to think outside the box.

I feel this problem just keeps coming, as it forces people to create things that are similar to other successful things–and nobody likes a copy-cat.

Craig you stated that no-body likes a copy-cat? So how come you have listed two people doing the same accounting software. There is copy-cat and then there is people who create similar product but better, whether is be with more simple functionality or going about it in a different approach and aiming at a different sector in the market.

There are hundreds of people who have very similar product e.g. Project Management. All you need to do is make is different to the others.
