The deal-killer for me on TheBrain is that Brains are no longer stored in packages or directories. On the Mac they are stored in some manner in ~/Brains. It appears on a casual glance to be sort of one database, all Brains. I could be wrong.

Syncing between two machines is either done with TheBrain’s sync service or by creating a zipped archive on one machine and importing it on the other.

If I can’t carry my work from one system to another without a sync service, I get a creepy feeling. Those plans my characters have for criminal activity? Yeah, I pretty much don’t want anyone to see that until I publish. Say what you want about reliability, an encrypted USB drive is more private than Dropbox.
