PIMs have been one my fancied applications for at least 10 years now. Over the years I have moved from ECCO to KeyNote and then to Infoselect. I did also try Zoot for a while, and used to love its Zooter and auto-categorizing. Later I moved to a combination of OneNote and CintaNotes. Although I have never been quite happy with OneNote, I have not found a good replacement yet. CintaNotes is good for what it does.
PIMs are probably one of those products that a lot of moderate and power users may use. In their variety, I find this class of applications very similar to ToDo List applications. There are a multitude of products out there, each with its own strengths and quirks. Every few months a lot of new products show up with a lot of promise but quickly languish for lack of development.
Based on your posts and opinions, I tried out RighNote, and it definitely looks good.
Every time I see a new review, I eagerly look up the application, but I almost always come down disappointed. A few features I look for are:
Like many of you, a good PIM that works for me will remain a distant dream, quite like that Indian parable of a mongoose with half a golden coat.

- Auto categorizing of incoming content – Zoot was wonderful with this
- Search as you type (live search) – InfoSelect did a great job with search filtering
- Sync across multiple devices – have an online option.
- Quick and snappy, with a small footprint
