It just occurred to me that we haven’t done this thread in a while.
So, what is everyone’s set-up circa 2011?
For general outlining, I’m alleviated my envy of Mac outliners with the fabulous and free Noteliner.
For project related notes, I’ve been digging OneNote 2010, while using Evernote to collect random bits of info (i.e. someone mentions a band I should check out, note gets put into Evernote on my phone and I review it on my desktop later.)
Though, I kinda wish stuff wasn’t so scattered.
Recently, I’ve been playing with Toodledo for task management, not so much with the web app but with the dozens of apps like Pocket Informant that can sync to it.
Oh, and Gmail for e-mail and task management to an extent (starred e-mails = must do)

I’m always trying different software, but here are the ones I use regularly:
Toodledo (web + iPhone): Managing my daily tasks
BrainstormSW + OPML Editor: Brainstorming, outlining out ideas, organizing thoughts
OneNote 2010: Collecting random ideas, Inking hand-written ideas on my Asus EP121 Tablet PC
(Side note, I love tablet PC’s for inputting handwritten notes and using the touchscreen for organizing ideas)
Flying Logic: Flowing out big picture ideas quickly
Instaviz (iPhone): Flowing out ideas how ideas connect while I’m on the go
Carbinfin Outliner (iPhone): Outlining when I’m on the move
UltraRecall: Storing interesting web links I find as I’m surfing the web
Dropbox: Crucial for keeping all my info sync’ed, as I’m inputting from different devices

Nice, I’ll recommend OPML Editor as an alternative to org-mode. Any chance you’ll post your notes on switching between it and BrainStormWFO?

@Bob
Nice; hadn’t seen OPML Editor mentioned for a while; is it still being developed/maintained?
@JB
David Tebbutt had written a detailed post in the old Thinkerlog about transferring content from Brainstorm to the OPML Editor. Any chance of restoring that someday?

Sorry, my question to Bob about OPML Editor should have been to Tradercclee
I wouldn’t get so easily confused if I made a Quoted Rely, but this doesn’t always work.
