>Without mark and gather (to which multiple selection with copy is one modern implementation), it possible to organize information, but it is impossible to reorganize it.

Could someone please provide a clear explanation of what “mark and gather” is.

Surfulater enables you to use drag and drop and cut, copy and paste in the Tree, to reorganize information. It does not currently allow multiple selection, but this is coming. Please clarify what the significant limitations are.

Software development relies heavily on user input. What the developer “finds important” isn’t the issue, it is what the customers want. It is incredibly frustrating when you bring out a new release and someone says I was expecting xyz in this release, but they never bothered to tell you they wanted xyz in the first place.
