I have just completed reading all the messages in this discussion group. Lots of interest in outliners, but the Windows/Mac divide is still there. I’ve tried lots of the Windows world outliners (most recently Jera) but none of them come close to my trusty old PC-Outline, black hole & all. Maybe its just that I am used to PC-Outline. I didn’t even get to migrate to Grandview when it was available. However, I really would love to be able to compare and contrast More, Acta, IdeaKeeper, PC-Outline, Grandview etc to find the tool that really can do it all. I suspect that one of the problems is that we are all so individual that we all use outliners in different and idiosyncratic ways.

Does anybody know if interest in outliners is growing in the Linux/GNU world. I came across some great stuff on the Anti-Microsoft site re Linux/GNU, and it all seems a bit like the golden era. Appreciation of good code, open environment that allows rapid bug-fixing, low cost but great software. Maybe that is the environment where we can find some convergence. At least I can run Linux/GNU on my Wintel machine.

Any views??
