I think it is mostly what you are used to.
I would recommend to try learn 5.x.
I also struggled with it at first, but now that I understand it, its much easier to use.

Hello mgsujith

1. the api has slightly changed, as far as I know
2. I do not think that 4.6 was easy to use, I think one get so used to the tree-process-structure, that learning a new process structure (which I think is more intuitive) seems to be too complicated. By the way, it is possible to use the tree-process-structure in rapidminer5, too.

All in all 4.6 works well and I haven't migrated all my code yet, but as a power user I often stumble over subtle bugs / missing features, that rm5 was finally the only way to go :D .

consider this

a good weekend for all of you

steffen,the reason to choose 4.6 is because of the UI which is easy is use and easy to understand. 
When using the API does versions matter?
