I use Legacy as a tool. It records my data. It does not do everything I want but that is OK and I do not have a problem with that. I just use other tools that suit me. The impression I have is that Legacy is in danger of becoming similar to a Swiss army style knife that has so many blades and does so many things that are seldom used, it will not fit into ones pocket and is so hefty the temptation is to leave it at home.
