Thanks for the initiative Steve; not much to comment on your list, which I think presents a good overview of our field of interest regardless of specific programs.

In 2005 I (finally) made an informed choice to stick with a core group of powerful and complementary information tools, namely Brainstorm, Idea! and UltraRecall in alphabetical order.

I also invested significant ammounts of time in participating in user fora and communicating directly with the developer teams of the a/m tools. Most of the issues I encountered during my use of those programs were resolved, in quite a number of cases through the incorporation of additional features and/or customisability in program updates. I am very grateful to these developers for their excellent after-sales service.

The few issues that were not resolved had, more often than not, to do with the underlying program concepts themselves, which goes to show that no concept fits all kind of information management. Other issues and WIBNIs (Wouldn’t It Be Nice If) may be catered for in future versions of the programs as they require significant development work.

Last but not least, I continued to test and work with other programs that are more focused in visual presentation of information, namely Aibase, ConceptDraw, Mind Manager and Personal Brain.
