I’ll update this comment as soon as I have no more invites available.

By the way, I went on your tech blog the other day to catch up with you. When I saw how much prolific in writing you are, I decided to come back later because I still feel “obliged” to read the essence of what a blogger has already written when I subscribe to him/her. I’m working on stopping to require so much out of myself. In any case, I wanted to read your posts about twitter, and I’ll definitely do it soon. I’m no early twitter adopter, and I fear following the pack might mean too much time on twitter for me. OTOH, it looks like it’s about the best way to informally exchange with geeks like me.

Thanks for your opinions. You’d be right to say my evaluation of DT’s interface was really superficial. On this particular criteria, I evaluated at least as much based on my feelings than on the qualities of the interfaces. This being said, I’m interested to know how DT’s organizational and search features are better suited to your needs than the others’. Re: search, do you use often the “See also” feature?

Evernote’s got a neat interface and you’re probably right that it’s a really strong choice if collection is your main criteria. My main criteria, OTOH, is organization and search, and I’m very happy with DEVONthink.

I do wish DT could import better, especially import directly my 100s of old MORE outlines from Classic, and that it had some outlining capabilities itself. You’re also right deducting points in your other post/review for lack of tag support: this is such a powerful feature it should be in just about any software nowadays.

I disagree, however, about the “dinosaur” interface – I was actually looking for an interface like that, with sidebars, 2 or 3-pane views, etc., and was amazed how few programs seemed to have a screen space-efficient version of that.

Anyway, thanks for the reviews. I’ll make a note of them in DT (& a mention on my twitter, too).

Jack: If you’re considering switching to a mac, in case you don’t know, OS X comes with a built-in spell-checker. Wait, if you’re into reading blog posts *and* leaving comments, you almost certainly already know that.
