I use it and like it. The main attraction for me was just how easy it was to set up as some of the packages require a lot more technical steps. You install it and you can one-click install the engines and databases you want, and just add your chess.com and lichess login for a one-click import of your games. I don't know how it compares with regard to more advanced features, but it does what I need it to do.

Hello! Has anyone played around with En Croissant? Supposedly similar to ChessBase and SCID. I will be downloading it to play around, but looking for others opinions on this software.
Have you played with it yet? We have 2 positive reviews here. Would be willing to know if you are happy with it too. I guess I might start using it too.

A friend mentioned it to me just a few hours ago. Tried it out and am very enthusiastic.
Very simple to use and does everything I need. With 1 click it dl's engines, you can dl a big database, you can import lichess puzzles to train. You can play, analyse and annotate games.
Seems the perfect tool so far. And it's free!
