...I just think that CN is simply not what you expected it to be.
...Would be interesting to hear what functionality is missing...- so you presumably don't perceive what I was talking about, above, so I won't bore you further.
...I keep my eye on it to see if it ever will become a tool that fits my workflow.- with the difference being that I would be comparing the product functionality to my requirements and would change my requirements if the product helped me to discover new requirements or opened up new possibilities - e.g., as MS OneNote has done. This could end up with me experimenting amd changing whatever my "workflow" happened to be. That is, I would adapt my work patterns to use the PIM tool in as optimal a manner as possible, if it had the potential to benefit me in some way by doing that - again, e.g., as I have done with MS OneNote. I should perhaps stress here that, in giving MS OneNote as an example, I don't especially like MS OneNote and I continue to fret over its limitations/constraints, as I see them, but so far have found nothing better, so am stuck with it whilst waiting for it to be improved and as I continue looking for something better.
"...its development is so limited and so static that it's almost become stagnant abandonware."- as I perceived (and as I indicated) that it's real progress seemed to have been incremental and slow. I wondered whether development effort had been diverted or had lost steam, for some reason (these things happen). As for meeting my peculiar requirements, CN has some fairly good matching functionality, but it would need to be a lot better (more useful to me) before I could see myself migrating to using it.

(Falsifiability or refutability is the property of a statement, hypothesis, or theory whereby it could be shown to be false if some conceivable observation were true. In this sense, falsify is synonymous with nullify, meaning not "to commit fraud" but "show to be false". Science must be falsifiable.)-IainB (June 05, 2016, 06:29 PM)
...In short, Fiske doesn’t like when people use social media to publish negative comments on published research. She’s implicitly following what I’ve sometimes called the research incumbency rule: that, once an article is published in some approved venue, it should be taken as truth. I’ve written elsewhere on my problems with this attitude—in short, (a) many published papers are clearly in error, which can often be seen just by internal examination of the claims and which becomes even clearer following unsuccessful replication, and (b) publication itself is such a crapshoot that it’s a statistical error to draw a bright line between published and unpublished work. ...

...Why should Home users have that kind of easily accessible power is more likely the reason. Getting to the Group Policy Editor is simple, getting the information on what registry settings do the same thing takes a little more effort. ...The first bit might be mere supposition on your part.

"Moses supposes his toeses are roses,
But Moses supposes erroneously.
If Moses supposes his toeses are roses,
Where do you suppose his toeses to be?"
(From "Singin' in the Rain", the "Moses Supposes" routine was performed by Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor.)

...I'm sure it's more than just marketing. There's some sort of decision making process behind it- especially as MS released the spreadsheet, and this isn't a marketed feature. I was just wondering what that reasoning might be.Well, good luck with that. Do let us know if you ever discover "what that reasoning might be". It might be interesting.
