I used TGSW when I started submitting, since that was all there was at the time. But it became impossible once there were constant changes and dozens of new sites every week. The update service was okay for maybe a year, then I just gave up on auto-submissions and switched to GASS. Combined with Roboform, GASS handles manual submissions very easily and at $45 it's a bargain.
Then, maybe 2 years ago I started using Chameleon because with its frequent updates, it was again practical to hit the hundreds of small TGP's that don't justify manual submissions. I have the database customized for patner accounts (and could do so for paid spots too) and there are usually 2 or 3 updates a week to take care of the rest. At least in terms of submissions to M/TGP's I'm not aware of the limits to which you refer, although yes, Chameleon doesn't handle links lists, dumps, etc.

I mean limits traffic wise, with Chameleon you're submitting to exactly the same Sites, with exactly the same Settings (right or wrong) together with at least 1000 other submitters, which doesn't make it easier to get listed. And many many newbies are using Chameleon, because they would like to get rich quick. So you have the problem that all of these Sites get flooded with Galleries that have exactly the same style (Recips etc.), so that again doesn't make it easier to get listed, and even I can tell you when a submission comes from Chameleon or f.e. Russiansubmitter.
It's true that you could avoid these problems by making your own costumized Database for Chameleon, but that would be like inventing the wheel a second time.
Again, Chameleon is a great tool for what it's made for (autosubmission and a maintained DB), but for costumized Databases, handsubmission, partner Accounts, paid Spots there are better ones.
