RE: HATs Market Share

["Brasel, Russell" <russell -dot- brasel -at- hccredit -dot- com>]

I'm suspicious of the 66% market share claim, since RoboHelp hasn't had
a new version in a while.  If the percentage is true, it may be taking
into account technical writers who are using older versions.  Also, if
you're shopping around for a HAT, market share is, in my opinion, a
rather useless guideline.  I should know-I use Macs at home, and for
music production and recording (a hobby of mine I take too seriously),
they are nonpareil in the industry, yet Apple's market share is less
than 6%.  (I'd imagine that among pro audio engineers, the figure is
more like 80-90%.)  

Similarly, Toyota has a huge market share, but if you've got the money
and resources, it's more fun and satisfying to drive a Porsche Boxster
than a Toyota Corolla.  It all depends on what you want to do and
whether or not you have the budget.
