I have been using Beersmith for about a year now (ever since I moved to a Mac).
I have to admit, a lot of the fields have been befuddling me, but I have found a great way to work them out.
What you do, is you barrel ahead through a brew day, get confused why you fell short on final volume, but hit all of your Gravity numbers, and voila, you discover the bit that tells you how much water you SHOULD have started with.
Sure as hell beats reading a manual.
