I did not make any comparison at all.
Here we go, apparently the quasi-religious battle is about to begin.
Again...
I ain't fightin' though.

QUASI religious?
Technology has become the new religion as western society becomes more and more secular.
May the Lord Jobs bless you and keep you.

Just my humble opinion here (I have not used the Windows version extensively, only 2006 on Win XP a while back) I think the problem is not one of platforms, but one of legacy. I think the user interface is just as convoluted (if not more so) on Windows as it is on Mac. The reason being that Windows has more features crammed into the same basic 20 (something) year old user interface .  Having started on Mac version 4 in the late 80's and sticking with version 5 through the 90's. I used 2006 for about a year in a band I was in around 2006. I jumped to Mac version 12 a couple of years ago, and now Mac 2009. My observation is that BIAB looks like it does because of where it has come from. The UI has not changed all that much since the late 80's, however many many many new features have been cobbled together to fit in a UI that was originally just a MIDI chord generator. I think they've done a great job of maintaining backward compatibility, and keeping the learning curve low for us old time users so far. However there does comes a point where you will have 10 pounds of crap in a 5 pound bag. I have no problem with the current UI, but I can see it being very intimidating for a new user. I'm thinking a total rewrite of the UI would be a really huge undertaking at this point. Just my $.02, YMMV. - Jay

Good assessment, Jay.
Me, I don't care so much how she looks, as long as she can sing real good...

Hate to resurrect an old thread .. but.. has anyone solved the OP's problem of being able to pick a font (and, more importantly, a font size) in the chord display window of BIAB for Mac? I had a nice big font, but I had to reset to factory default settings to get tags working, and now I have a little itty bitty font and can't see the chords from any distance.

Well, even with BIAB 2010 we still have no other font options to choose from. You can, however, change the font size by going to the Preferences 2 panel and ticking "Allow larger fonts on Chord Sheet" on the bottom left.
