May I add:

Most anticipated info management program: Zoot 32-bit

A few comments on two of your excellent selections:

> Most used notebook outliner: Ultra Recall

I think Ultra Recall’s success stems as much from its feature power as from its developers’ willingness to listen to users’ feedback through the public forum, without losing their focus. As you’ve commented elsewhere, their original concept might have its inherent handicaps; I personally am confident that Kinook’s approach is versatile enough to find solutions to the important issues, though no concept will ever please everybody.

> Best Design in a notebook program: Idea!

Sycon, on the other hand, doesn’t publicly discuss much of its development roadmap, though they are obviously open to users’ suggestions. Their product is the equivalent of a classic German car: powerful, reliable and well-serviced; as for looks, you either like it or you don’t.
