Hi there,
I’ve been lurking on this forum for a long long time (a few years probably), following interesting conversations and discovering wonderful programs.
I stil have not settled for a PIM/outliner, I’m using a patchwork of tools (MyLifeOrganized, OneNote, text files, sometimes Wikidpad and others). I was just wondering out of curiosity which PIM/outliner would you rate as the most ‘geeky’.
To me Wikidpad would rank quite high in that regard, any other?

WikidPad… by a longshot. It is the only one that I’ve found that allows you to get into the nitty-gritty corners of the app (if you are so inclined).

What makes a PIM/outliner “geeky”?

Good question!
To me (and this is my very own view), geeky means:
- very customizable
- ability to tweak everything
- maybe some obscure features / commands
- customizable keyboard shortcuts for all features
Good examples for me are: MyLifeOrganized and Wikidpad

Nice question!
For the Mac, I’d say Tinderbox is probably the most geeky PIM/outliner. Although I say that advisedly, as I’m really enjoying it and I’m not very geeky (at least not in tech terms: i.e. knowledgeable about the inner workings of computers).
For the PC, hmmm. My first thought was ConnectedText, but maybe Wikipad is geekier. Zoot might be pretty geeky, too.
