I caved and also bought BlockBase+ today. I haven't used the older versions, but this one certainly seems user-friendly.

I recall EQ8 being a major improvement/upgrade over EQ7, so that could explain why the new BlockBase+ is not backwards compatible. The underlying engine in EQ8 is completely different than EQ7, so they would have had to basically create 2 versions of BlockBase+ to have it be compatible with the older, techically out-of-date, version of Electric Quilt.
