Jack,

The first step in recovery is admitting you have a problem, so you’re on your way, and I wish you well.

I agree that the UI is extremely important with PIMs. I guess it is because a good PIM requires a lot of interaction with your data and should provide various views of it as well, so you are continually facing the UI. This is unlike a lot of common software. In a word processor you spend most of your time working in the editor. In a spreadsheet, well, you’re in the spreadsheet. Hmmm. Anyone care to comment on this theory?
