TS2k is the last and best of workstation versions.
It requires some adapting and programming to get right.
But once you get it right, its forever.

TS6, 7, 8, 9, ... are all internet versions and change with
the wind or TS's current techs. Bells and whistles don't make
money though, and either TS version should do well. Its just you have
allot of broken learning curves to constantly contend with
upgrades every so often, that you may rationalize are better due to new
bells and whistles.

TS2K should be the primary target for vendors, since it will
always be here. Its worth the time of users to learn programming
and even devise a way to evolve into dll's. I have changed almost
every TS standard ela to some degree, except the most basic functions, and
do not trust TS Global Variable applications for many reasons.

But in all fairness, it is vastly more simple with data, historical data,
broker,
and charting application rolled into one (TS's marketing strategy). And
maybe this difference in
learning curve for a new trader is the difference between making
it or not. So sometimes the optimum method may not be the
best pragmatic solution, at first anyway. Like Newman says on Steinfeld,
"its quite a conundrum".
