There are maybe 5 top programs, each with a few dozen (or >fewer) features and no plug-in engine interface. Compare that to ChessBase, >which has hundreds & hundreds of features. Analysis features for Go programs won't sell as long as there are no programs which actually have a decent understanding of the game. As far as keeping records of one's own games is concerned, a tool like CGoban2 will suffice completely, and database applications will probably be less useful to go-players than to chess players, because rote memorization of tactical sequences (tesujis) and strategic exchange sequences (joseki) or opening lines (fuseki) has a significantly lower pay-off in go than in chess even if you are not high-rated.
