Its not rubbish,wait I'll create a poll and invite users to cast the poll
there,I'm sure chessbase will get more votes,almost double times than Arena.

Arena is available freely because the developers know that their GUI doesnt have
any features and is poor choice to go commercial.

there are quite a tiny and few bug in chessbase,I find there are heck a lot of
bugs in Arena,so much to note down.

When i report the Arena's bug,the list of bugs will occupy the whole Arena site.

Hey,I already know a lot of bugs in Arena,there is very less bug in chessbase
that are not worth reporting.
