Unlike ADM 4 (so-called), the consequences for UR's design choices were at least subject to forethought.
Stephen, when you write about ADM 4, perhaps you could in the interest of honest disclosure mention that your anger at ADM is at least in part predicated on the fact that your sometimes brash manner got the developer's back up, and that then the two of got into a pissing contest that is best summed up under the rubric of personality conflict.

Yes, you did identify some weak areas in ADM (lack of redo on the tree, issues with backup), but since you do nothing above except take a rather childish and generalized slam at the software, it is not clear whether your motive was to add to this discussion or simply use any excuse to shoot at your favourite target.

The multiple databases in ADM work extremely well, and the quickjump feature, for example, makes it very easy to switch from one database to a specific topic or subtopic in any of the other databases. Since you did not comment specifically on this feature, which was the point of my previous post, I can only assume that you either did not know about it or, knowing about it, wouldn't be caught dead saying something positive.

The point remains that ADM 4 (yes still in beta), MDE InfoHandler, and UltrarRecall are the main competitors in their field, probably to be joined by Zoot when Zoot comes out in 32-bit form.

The developers of each and every one of these programs are doing a splendid, exlempary even, job and do not deserve the sort of banal bad mouthing that you have engaged in.
