"Desktop Accessibility! Hotkey Functionality! Epic!!!"
Pros
My title nails down the two main features.
Add to that :
1. Firefox Add-On Capability
2. Ability to look up any term quickly with instant connection to Wiki services online.
3. Synonyms, Antonyms, Part of Speech, all collectively displayed in the interface
4. The interface is clean, functional, and efficient
5. Voice functionality to hear the word spoken aloud
and probably more stuff I haven't used yet because this software offers everything I want already with just the surface features.Cons
I applaud the developer for encouraging people to be environmentally conscientious.
It hasn't been an issue for me yet, but I am not looking forward to the pop up windows asking me if I am being sufficiently green.
Also, some of the terms could use more robust synonyms definitions and many terms lack antonyms altogether.
Antonyms are a more specialized dictionary attribute though, so I am not much troubled.Summary
Excellent. Excellent. Excellent.
Everyone should have this marvelous piece of software on their computer.
I would encourage Microsoft to buy the software and make it part of Windows 8.
It would enhance the OS immensely in useability.
