Comments and Reviews
I feel like "ultra-intuitive" is a little bit generous. Ultra-intuitive for Windows XP maybe. Still, without all the chrome (this would be impossible to use on a touch interface) it allows you to manage the monstrous font collections that some designers have (looks around suspiciously) since it is very efficient from a screen-real-estate standpoint.
It's very good at what it does. There are other font managers that have a more modern interface, but with the demands modern design software makes on our hardware, using a framework like electron (looking at you FontBase ) just has too much overhead to be run side by side with the likes of After Effects or even Photoshop (sometimes). If this is what you need, then FEX is probably the best you're going to get short of some big corporate web app (Adobe Fonts et al).
An important note from the support (unfortunately too late for me): You have to do backups via the menu command in the app. It's not possible to restore the font library like you do it in professional coded mac apps :-( My trust in FontExplorer is gone.
