Just as an addendum to my previous reply: I sense an unsatisfied need in the Mac ecosphere for a document-management application that on the one hand leaves files available to external access (including access from iOS and Android, and access in the Cloud) and manipulation (including filing and manipulation via the application itself), and on the other hand enables complete and comprehensive indexing (including content indexing a la DevonThink), labelling, rating, renaming, tagging and sophisticated searching. No single application does all this successfully, whilst remaining reliably stable; certainly Yep does not do it all - it could be built upon, but the signs are that it won’t be. Finder replacements, Spotlight extensions and self-contained document-managers also have gone some of the way, but not all. The release of OSX Mavericks has raised the salience of this need, but as I say, despite the obvious usefulness and possibilities of tags under Mavericks (not just as an addition or replacement for folder hierarchies), the need remains unsatisfied.
