DJ is based on EQ5. I have heard that EQ6 is much more user friendly than EQ5. I have EQ6 and use it all the time. I just got the DJ software and haven't used it much yet, but I did notice right away that it had a different "feel" than EQ6. I think that with either package there are some concepts that you need to get up front, and once you understand them the software is easy to use. For me, EQ6 is an invaluable tool in planning quilts. Though there are some enhancements and improvements I would like to see...
