Someone MUST make a new PowerMarks program.

Yes, tuckndar, my impressions were similar also. I was using the firefox plugin and couldn't figure out what it does. I made a list of comments and suggestions about the program, but it's at work. I will post it on Monday.
It's actually quite close to functioning like Powermarks, it's really not that far off at all. A couple of minor changes and it could be there very quickly.
SKA:
A new Linkman version 7.5(major update) released . with support for Powermarks:

I totally forgot about Linkman, I've been meaning to try it out since the minireview done here. So I just tried it and these are my intial impressions:
It is really powerful and customizable. I like that. But I can't seriously use it until it has a proper Firefox plugin. Meaning, I need to be able to add bookmarks with a click of a button with all the appropriate information automatically filled. Otherwise, I have to use another product. But, besides that, it seems to be really awesome. I also like how the program is very lightweight and fast.
Tomorrow, I will post suggestions for Power Favorites about how a couple of tweaks can make it very similar to Powermarks. The same suggestions can be extended, of course, to any other bookmark manager, including Linkman.

I just installed and tried out Power Favorites. Although my overall impression is favorable and it might appeal to many people, there's a simple feature missing that makes the program ususable to me.
Powermarks enables selecting which fields appear as columns in the main bookmark list, and I depend on one of those columns being the tags associated with each bookmark. Power Favorites decides for you what fields are displayed, and tags are not one of them.
I realize that the tags of the currently highlighted bookmark are displayed in the bottom pane, but that’s not useful to me in browsing my bookmarks.
By the way, I noticed that the create date for imported Powermarks was often incorrect.

I agree, the column customization is very useful. As for the display on the bottom, I actually kind of like it. A simple option to turn it on or off should be perfect.
I will post my suggestions in just a few...
