Proteus is better than Fire
Authored by: usfgpm on Jul 03, '02 11:38:37AM

I was an avid Fire user for quite a while. I liked its features, but it crashed too much for me. I switched to Proteus and have been very, very happy. I haven't upgraded to the 2.0 version yet because the author mentioned on versiontracker that someone submitted 2.0 before he was ready and that it is still a preview. The finished 2.0 build should be out later this week, I believe he said.

Proteus (at least the version I am still using) only seems to crash or hang when my internet connection goes down and then comes back up. Also, when you first launch it and it is attempting to log into 3 or 4 services at one time, it can slow the computer down quite a bit.

Proteus' author is extremely responsive and quite actively developing the app, so I plan to stay with Proteus for the foreseeable future.
