However the current version 3 seems to have had only minimal upgrading despite various problems and does not appear to work reliably and consistently on Intel Macs.
Alsoft made no bones about the fact that v3 was NOT Intel compatible. In fact, I seem to recall they flat out said it didn't work on Intel machines (it has been a while since I looked when I couldn't get my v3 copy to work on my intel iMac).
The cost has inflated to $100, or $50 to upgrade. So although the utility has a good history the jury is still munching sandwiches in the jury room.
I'm curious to see how it does at that price. Disk Warrior was always a one trick pony. It did what it did VERY well, but that was all it did. It becomes hard to justify a $100 price in the face of a tool that really would only need to be used on rare occasions. Probably even less on Intel machines as those only run 10.4 and up where Apple has journaling on by default, plus OS X automatically runs fsck (think Disk First Aid) every time it boots. That means, under 10.4 and beyond (assuming one did not turn off journaling), the odds of having directory corruption bad enough that Disk Warrior would have been needed to fix, starts to get much more remote.
