Thanks Steve and Paul. It’s interesting how people’s requirements differ so widely. I, for example, aren’t bothered that software’s been written in Java and I don’t need multiple instances of brains and my diary is on paper, so I don’t use the timeline. As for speed, I’d rather have steady and reliable than flashy (it was only four months after I started paying for the syncing that it actually started working ...). Similarly, I never saw any improvements making it worthwhile to upgrade to versions 7 or 8 either.

As for the notes: no table support, no ability to set font and font size, many bugs with cut and paste, default double return at the end of a paragraph, no html editing view - actually, loads of stuff available in previous versions for note editing is missing. All stuff for me that stops me using the notes at all, and that’s a major failing in my view.

Maybe as I work with it I’ll have a eureka moment and become a convert. But I reckon that moment’s a long way off, if it comes at all.
