Whats the best and most recent dwarf management utility? I nearly went insane trying to manage jobs just now.

[Quietust]

Dwarf Therapist, hands down.

I use dwarf manager and it works fine for me. I give everyone custom professions and assign jobs based on those. There's a little micromanagement in terms of setting it up but if I want my 20 haulers to suddenly help on some mechanics then I just click a few buttons and off we go. I've not tried any others though

[Canadark]

Dwarf Therapist.

Never used anything else.

I used Dwarf Manager for some time before using Dwarf Therapist. The changeover from DM to DT can be overwhelming with all the info, but I found it easier to get used to it by starting with a fresh new embark.

I don't think Dwarf Manager is bieng updated anymore anyways and it will be incompatible with the new release, which is soon.

[Tokkius]

Therapist. Always Therapist.

[Hagadorn]

My version of DM don't work with the newest mayday release.

And yes, going from DM to DT is... a Mind screw and a half.
I actually found DM easier to use.

I don't really give a crap what experience levels my dorfs are at.
What I do give a crap about is being able to easily assign dorfs to a custom profession.

Which DT seems to treat as some sort of heresy.

Hard to assign dwarfs to a custom profession?  Create custom profession, rightclick dwarf (can even shift-click or control-click to select multiples like in some other applications), choose custom profession from list, done.  Have you been doing something wrong?

I use DT for easy assignment of useless migrants to my general-labor "Grunt" custom profession and management of skills, and it works great.
