Anything current that matches GrandView's Category/Assignment capabilities? Whoops! Table was too wide!

I hope that this post is more legible.
NoteMap has prett much all of GrandView’s important outlining capabilities. [If I’m wrong, please disabuse me of my misconceptions.]
However, I can’t think of any current PIM that has all of GV’s Categeory/Assignment features. AM I WRONG???
GV can display columns similar to Ecco’s columns. Each column heading corresponds to a GV Category and each column entry is called an Assignment in GV. As in other PIMs with columns, in GV one can manually enter an assignment into a column at the row corresponding to a particular outline item. But GV can also also create automatic assignment rules:
“If CONDITION Z, then, assign “Assignment A” to “Category C.”
Once you create one or more assignment rules, a simple command causes GV to examine each outline item and, if CONDITION Z is present in the item, then the item gets assigned A in Category C.
GV also has a separate Category/Assignment view with 3 panes:
_________________________________________________________________________________
| | |
| Category Names | Assignment Names corresponding to a highlighted Category |
|__________________ |______________________________________________________________|
| | |
| Outline items corresponding to a highlighted Category and Assignment |
| |
|_________________________________________________________________________________|
In this view, if you highlight an outline item in the bottom pane and press CTRL-TAB {this doesn’t work in Win XP…you must use a menu}, the outline is displayed with the cursor on the item you chose.
GV has two default Categories, Date and Priority, and also has a Calendar display with assignments listed for each date. Everything is interconnected—there are no orphan views.
So, is there a current PIM that can do this or the equivalent? Millions of GV addicts are waiting with baited breath. (Actually, more like hooked fish out of water.)

Maybe this time?
