Your link threw me (to “About the Particular Mac”). It’s http://www.atpm.com, not aptm. But thanks; I hadn’t seen that. Ted does a great column—taking the kind of enthusiasm of outliners.com and turning it into lively and up-to-date column writing. I found one message by Ted that TAO “was chasing the MORE crowd,” which I guess is an accurate enough description of what I was looking for.

It is a conundrum, trying to patch together all of the applications you want in one operating system. I’ve been living in the Linux world at work and on one of my home machines. I’ve only found three single pane outliners, none of which do much for me. VIMOutliner is OK—if you use Vim, and I don’t. hnb is small and fast—but doesn’t print (and I’m having some problems getting it to move a heading up or down without cutting and pasting). tkoutline doesn’t have some of the word processing controls that would come in handy…

Man, I’m picky.

Two pane outliners in Linux: Tuxcards, KnowIt!, Treepad. So far, I’m using and liking Tuxcards best.

But yeah, finding the “specialized applications” is tricky.
