If I wanted to cook my coffee as opposed to drinking it in its liquid form, I would indeed chose LIDO. Ever seen how long it takes to get a Eurocontrol compliant flight plan calculated on it !!
Lido is not the only system that reads weather and there is some contention as to the value of auto processing of NOTAMs given the inconsistency of Q codes on occasions. "Whooaahh" is right - a flight planning system is a tool that still requires varying degrees of intervention and therefore ease of use, flexibility and a price tag that is somewhat less than the GDP of a small African nation would get my vote . . .
