I tested the new zoot 6 and i am really impressed.
It could be the all-in-one PIM solution.

What do you think about zoot 6 ?
What do you miss in zoot 6 ?

I’ve been a long time Zoot fan, but it has taken me some time to warm up to XT, but it is growing on me. So far I miss two things:

1. The ability to print mailing labels.
2. A comprehensive help file so I can figure out if there are other things I’m missing.

I was a longtime Zoot user who abandoned the previous version for other apps that offered the glory of richtext.

I haven’t gone back for two reasons:

* I hate the default dark color scheme, though, yes, I know I can change it. There’s a reason no successful mainstream apps that I know of use a dark color scheme like that.

* It kept freezing for me when I used Chrome. I did notify the developer but he couldn’t trace the problem, nor could I.

I should clarify. CHROME would freeze, not Zoot.

Another thing that discourages me is that the developer, Tom Davis, is building in all these hooks to web services like Facebook and Twitter, which I think is a mistake. Given how long it’s taken him to produce this latest version, that says to me that an inordinate amount of his future development time will be spent trying to keep it operating with those constantly changing APIs instead of on Zoot’s core information-handling tasks.

And finally, I’m now suffering from IAF—information-app fatigue.
