I agree. I have tried this software numerous times only to find poorly written modules hogging the system for simple things like RSS feeds, clocks, and the like. I never thought enough of it to consider paying the shareware fee to register. It is a cool concept but I always ended up dumping it a few hours after trying the newest release - hoping some of the bugs had be ironed out. Somehow I feel Apple would have gladly paid him for it if it worked as well as an Apple branded program should.
This is a quality drafing program most likely in the price range you are looking for. ($149.00 for the standard edition.) I have tried the demo and its easy to use and should net you some nice looking floorplans quickly. I use high end CAD packages daily ( Ashlar products etc.) and although they are great products there really are no low end versions. At least this High Design was written from scratch for OSX ao it really looks and performs well. You also will be able to add some color - something very limited even on high end Cad programs.
