Does anyone have any experience with the recent versions of Chess Assistant?  How does it compare with Chessbase and other alternatives in 2026?  Does anyone still use it?  5 or 6 years ago Chess Assistant seemed like a competitive tool that some people liked more than Chessbase as it (and Chess Aquarium) had some unique tools but also both had a steep learning curve to use the more advanced tools.  

I'm a Chessbase user and considering an upgrade from a very old version of Chessbase so I want to see what is out there these days (including online alternatives to Chessbase) before purchasing the current version of Chessbase.  

By way of background, I'm not a chess professional or trainer but simply a Class A / Expert level amateur.  As such some of the more obscure functions might not make a difference for me that might be meaningful for more advanced users.  I use databases for repertoire management and updating (no heavy opening theory work) and also use it for storing and reviewing my games.  I also store and organize study material but realize there are many other ways to do that.
