And I decided not to be concerned about the notebooks in the cloud issue.

Yep has another “upgrade” forcing a full price via App Store so I’m seriously looking at Evernote.

I had an old license of DEVONThink 2 kicking around from a MacUpdate promo so I tried it out. I found it quite lacking in the visual dept relative to Yep and Evernote. Also, it kept crashing and had around 10,000 orphaned notes for some reason so I trashed it.

Ultimately though, DT is just too complex for something that should be easy.

I have the same privacy concerns, but I like the idea of the non-syncing notebook in Evernote. One thing that DT has over this is that you can run a server and access your files from your mobile device. This involves some complexity of course though.

The only downsides I can see to Evernote would be subscription-based cost (adds up to quite a big price difference eventually between the other products) and lack of support for OpenMeta tags (and no conversion route that I’m aware of). However, as mentioned above, the search feature is strong enough to get lazy about tagging or lose existing tags in the conversion and not really notice.

So what did you finally decide? And how is it working for you?

Seems to come down to a choice between Evernote and DevonThink.

Women are to be called by their proper names and not categorized! If you find them attractive, intelligent, charming, feels all right for me but chicks, babes?

You would be surprised to hear the comments they make about men.
when they find them boring, macho, self-centered, but, it happens, they also find us interesting, cute, strong and protective, idiotic but elegant, etc…

But I haven’t heard them using slang words for men, have you?

Bulls, pigs, worms, what would you expect?
