I love Guitar Pro, because it is so easy to work with it, I love that I can listen back to what I wrote down, and the sound really improved over the years.
I also many times practice with the speed trainer which is an amazing tool (you can set the song you are learning up on a way that it increases the speed after each round).
I write and arrange all the songs/exercises for my courses with Guitar Pro, and I recommend it to everybody that I come across with.
