Still limping along with FontExplorer X as well Drew, and not looking forward to making the switch either. It's a daunting prospect but it's looming - I get a double warning every time I open FEX now and have to quit out of it after I activate fonts or it freezes up.
From what I've gathered RightFont and TypeFace are the main contenders (
$59 and
$36 respectively, each with free upgrades for 12 months), with
FontBase as the best 'free' app. I'm leaning towards TypeFace as it's not locked to a single machine and they've made it a point to
support PostScript fonts for as long as possible, which I'm gonna need for a while until I broach the
next daunting task, which is converting a bunch of PostScript to OpenType. Don't even want to think about that yet.
Let me know what your experience is, as I haven't jumped into testing as much as I really need to.

) I'd say I have close to 10K. Barely a tenth of those are actively being used at this point though.
