General brainstorming for Note-taking software
rjbull:
I keep jumping from specialist programs (e.g. the elegant but expensive Notemap (http://www.casesoft.com/notemap/) for outlining, the well-designed Notesholder (http://notes.aklabs.com/) for on-the-fly notetaking) back to all-in-ones.

Big difference in price. Notesholder looks a bit like an alternative "sticky notes" program.
I waste too much time trying out programs, and not long enough making the most of them.

There should be a club tie ;)
I currently have a self-imposed ban on trying new note-taking/data capture programs

I wonder how long that will last :D
Thanks for your comments w.r.t. UltraRecall. I think it got briefly mentioned far back in this thread.

Willyram - reading again your excellent set of criteria reminded me of a suite of products that I don't think any one has mentioned thus far.
A while a go I came across the GemX range of pims / notetaking products which I never had time to fully test out but I'm going to look at again. They are certainly feature packed but whether or not they have the qualitities that would inspire regular use I'm not sure yet. If anything they seemed very busy with tons of customization options.

Their three key products are:
Do-Organizer http://www.gemx.com/doorganizer_features.php
Tex-Notes Pro http://www.gemx.com/texnotespro_features.php
Surfgem - which has some parallels with Surfulator http://www.gemx.com/surfgem_features.php
Anyone else here tried these out?

Interesting and almost semi-relevant sideline: GemX Do-Organizer can be set to send notes to Zhornsoftware's popular sticky notes application Stickies over a network. More >here<

Yes, bloatware. Lots of function but sloppy and fat interface. Not as configurable as it would seem.
muse:
For the price of $90 do-Organizer is a good deal for what you get. It accounts for almost any kind of important data organization you need. I only wish they could do something about organizing files on a disk. However, they do have a file manager which I use for previewing images and RTF stuff.
Its hardly "bloatware". This term means putting something in software that is not needed. What isn't needed in doOrganizer ?
"Not as configurable" :o You probably only ran the software for 10 minutes!
