This is the first time I've heard of 大漢和辞典. I think I may save money for that later. Thank you for introducing a big dictionary.

By the way, I've used ATOK before, and honestly it's not very convenient for me, mainly because I need to type English and Vietnamese often xD. When it comes to Japanese, I just type everything with NJStar. Aside from the built-in words, it also allow users to create their own typing, which works very well for me. ATOK has a built-in Koujien, but it's not easy to use compared to the standalone version of the dictionary.
