Steve, that’s a tough question man.

If I was cut down to one I would use ADM 3 because it lets me outline, easily capture stuff from the web, use key words, use columns, and every indication is it will get better and better in each of those areas.

A lof of what I used to do in Ariadne I now do in ADM because ADM allows me to have separate files that can be opened and closed easily by using tabs. Ariadne only allows one instance of the program to be working, and essentially has only one file, so an outline can get pretty big; Ariadne has a provision for what it calls privacy files that could resolve that problem, but I have found that in closing those files I have sometimes lost their contents.

Much of the information I used to store in ADM I now keep in MDE InfoHandler, whose sophistication around categories and groups stands alone. InfoHandler makes it a joy to store and retrieve articles and quotations because it is so easy to use the categories and groups. When I began to use InfoHandler I found that its learning curve was much easier than I had assumed.
