Post title: SDL Trados
Its like old time IBM. Nobody ever got fired because of choosing to buy IBM. I started out with Wordfast Classic and have tried also MemoQ and DV, but nowadays I use only SDL Trados.
In my first year (2003) as a freelance I got a phonecall from a prospective customer who asked if I had Trados. I had never heard of it and so he hung up. Thought me unprofessional, which was true.
