I am keen on NVIVO at present. It strikes me as very user friendly and
flexible, though it may be less good for really big projects that are
better handled by NUDIST. However, I have not used Atlas and have heard it
is very good. I have found NVIVO to be more flexible, and enables me to do
more things than ETHNOGRAPH, though for many years I regarded that as a
super introductory package as it is very user friendly.
