Possible disadvantages

• Complex Interface

• No Validation of Changes
  Orca does not validate changes made to MSI files, so users risk corrupting installation packages if they are not careful.

Possible disadvantages

• Limited Customization Options
  While Plotter offers excellent structure and planning tools, it may lack customization options for users who have specific needs or prefer more flexibility in their workflows.
• Subscription Cost
  Plotter operates on a subscription model, which may be a drawback for some users who prefer a one-time purchase or are looking for free alternatives.
• Learning Curve
  New users might experience a learning curve as they get accustomed to Plotter’s features and functionalities, especially if they are used to more traditional writing tools.
