it's not really fair to say that.
I think the program suck in the past. really suck. Quotes were OK but you always needed to pay extra for any software package to add on it.
For the price, eSignal was really poor vs other providers at the same price.
But the new version is such a leap forward with some really great features. now you have very good price/quality ratio. beating other packages in my opinion.
I think that's why you often read good comments now.
And when you think they improved a lot and it's fine, they hook up with IB for real integrated trading. There are many IB traders here.
So they started far behind but, it is inevitable that they get very much attention now.
other good quality software get attention and they are not advertisers. it's only because of number of users in ET and quality of the product (think Wealth-Lab).
just my opinion.
