This question could turn out to be a Ford vs Chevy argument, but I hope not. For a very long time, I have used DiskWarrior, mainly because I like the notion of an orderly directory and the habit of keeping the fragmented files to a minimum. I currently use DW version 4.4 on Mt. Lion 10.8.4 and on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on another Mac. I get weary of waiting for the application to get ready to work. They blame Apple for not giving them a faster booting version of MacOS X. So far, that disadvantage has not driven me to give up.

I've used TechTool and perceive that it offers more services for keeping the Mac in good shape. My questions are:

Is there any problem using them one after the other to clean up my system software from time to time? and

Is there truly anything to be gained by doing so?
