I frequent both web sites.
PB as far as software goes, isn't as bad as it is maligned to be.
It is not as strong as HKN/IS:Boxer, but probably stronger then anything else, as far as features go.
It does receive regular updates, but not nearly as frequent as IS:Boxer.
Like IS:Boxer, it is a subscription model (at least sort of); you get a year of free updates, and then have the option of renewing for additional updates or using the version of the software as it currently is.
The issues between Tim and Ellay (MB.com and D-B.com) predate my time, and honestly aren't really my business.
There is animosity between both sites, which sucks since the users of both are all part of the multiboxing/dual-boxing community.
EverQuest I: Bard / Enchanter / Druid / Wizard / 2x Magician.
Diablo III: 4x Crusader & 4x Wizard.

I can only judge your comments about HotkeyNet. I think they are fair and accurate. You are a gentleman, sir!
Thanks for mentioning Mojo. I recently started Mojo over from scratch and the current build (unlike older ones) has no useful features for WoW multiboxing. They'll get added back in soon.Originally Posted by Zenga
I was here at the time and was involved. I corresponded with both of them privately trying to help find a good solution for everyone.Originally Posted by Ualaa
The issues were not personal. They were not "between" Tim and Ellay. Tim's business practices were in full public view. He made public statements about his software and whether it violated Blizzard's rules and everybody could judge whether they were true or false. Many people including me saw tthese things and agreed that Ellay made a reasonable decision.

I used both. PB got me started. It was very easy to set up and worked very well. As I became more comfortable with multiboxing, I was interested in exploring other options. The repeater regions and amazing amount of customization is what eventually drew me to ISBoxer. If it weren't for Ualaa's guide, I might still be struggling with it. That being said, it was worth the effort.
Both products are great and compliment the community. While I don't dispute ISBoxer's edge in functionality, it was the other product that made it easy for me to experience multiboxing with the least amount of effort.
It's a shame about the feud, since both of these sites are a tremendous resource filled with knowledgeable folks who always seem to find the time to help out.
My 2 cents.........
