I love Raskin because it is so revolutionary and unique - I have never seen anything like it before! Of course, I love how useful and easy-to-use it is, but I love how it takes a risk and does something mind-blowingly different and cool...

It's magical! I never thought this type of app would ever exist in this real world. Raskin is overwhelmingly impressive. It's a new way and innovation to "play" with your documents. In minutes you'll appreciate the simplicity and intelligence of their answer to the traditional desktop. TRY IT YOURSELF! Believe me :)

Love it, love it, LOVE IT. The user interface is so unique. I never used something like this before. My only concern is the amount of overhead this app takes. Perhaps the dev will further optimize it in upcoming releases.

Raskin is perfect for a laptop user like myself. Pan and zoom: great! Love to win, but definitely looking at buying.

A truly unique approach to file browsing.

I somehow get a feeling of living in Minority Report when using this app. Its a very good app and increases your productivity. This is a unique one and there are no alternatives to this one. A must have app on your Snow Leopard.

I really liked having such a unique way to view my computer. I'm very visual and this helps me further unearth all of the odds and ends I have yet to organize. I like it and would only be concerned about it using a lot of RAM but so far it has been snappy.

A smart approach, did not think it, because I trialed a lot in this sector and always stayed with finder. But this is really something special, a biggie, for sure. Wanna have it! :)

Any way of looking at your files differently is good. Hopefully Raskin scales well and remains zippy. (I also like Leap and 3D-Space VFS.)
JD HossJul 27, 2010 at 12:56 pm
Makes it extremely easy to spot specific files, one of those functions that I wish Apple would have thought of.
RhettJul 27, 2010 at 12:56 pm
A game changer once you wrap your head around it. The freedom of leaving the finder window is a boon to productivity types and visual thinkers (like me).
Ed DupuisJul 27, 2010 at 4:41 pm
Kick Ass application that shakes the GUI foundations! Great stuff. Get things done more quickly and intuitively, what more do you want from an application?
J HernandezJul 28, 2010 at 1:04 am
Finding files at a glance is so easy with Raskin. I have been using it on my laptop, and I am very happy with how it helps my workflow. I am always looking for ways to maximize my productivity without bloating my OS - some of my favorite apps are 1password, Cinch, Default Folder X, and Raskin.

As Jef thought "out of the box" so does this Raskin. It is a fun and unique utility that deserves to get widespread adoption. Thank you for developing Raskin.
HBBJul 28, 2010 at 5:48 pm

MaikJul 28, 2010 at 7:08 pm
I really like the visual concept of overviewing the files in your chosen places. would also love to win a copy.

It reminds me of the futuristic interfaces from the movie Minority Report.
KayJul 29, 2010 at 6:41 am
Seamless navigation and intuitive UI. Raskin could potentially help me be more productive since it makes viewing files and finding stuff a pleasure. I see a lot of potential with multi-touch gestures.
Jesse BJul 29, 2010 at 11:14 am
Wow amazing app. Love it so much. It is just a whole new take on the way of file browsing and makes it a lot more pleasing and eye catching. would love to win it.
bobJul 29, 2010 at 1:41 pm
great app!!! simple solution for added productivity.... will be trying it with the new magic trackpad.
MelusineJul 30, 2010 at 8:44 am
Very unique - it's Quick Look intensified. Great for photographers and designers. Too bad it doesn't work on my other mac that's running Leopard.
