I would vote for customer requirement, as distinct from recommendation.

Agree, in the sense that this is how I 'selected' Studio to begin with. Then it becomes a case of using what you know for greater productivity. I once tried switching between Studio and another CAT tool, but gave up when my fingers became so confused over which CAT used which keyboard shortcuts. And when I had to switch from Studio to Tag Editor (in early Studio 2009 days) it was a nightmare remembering how to confirm segments, etc. Having used Studio since launch in July 2009 I could only 'recommend' it because I don't know any other CAT tool, but I know many other people who use Deja VU, MemoQ, Transit and others, who are very happy.

Paul Filkin,
if you are reading this, how about another one of your surveys pinned to the top of the list:
Do you understand the difference between a Main TM and a Project TM? Yes / No.
