Lucas, I did look up Vimflowy. OMG, the indentations for each successive lines are huge.
Sorry, that wouldn’t work for me, but thanks anyway.

It’s an insider joke here (see the link below the Search field to the left):
CRIMP stands for a make-believe malady called compulsive-reactive information management purchasing. Symptoms include:
- never being satisfied with your current system of information management
- continuously being on the look-out for something newer and better
- purchasing every new PIM program you learn about
- and secretly hoping you won’t find the perfect PIM, because then you’d have to stop looking for a better one
So, when someone speaks of succumbing to his or her CRIMP, it means acknowledging that they’ve purchased another PIM program even though they really don’t think they need it.

I agree with everything you said Franz, except that it’s make-believe! I feel I truly have it!!! :-)

That’s what psychologists call “denial” ;-)

That is HILARIOUS!
Apparently, I have a particularly strong immunity to this ailment. Consider the fact that I’ve continued to make daily use of Clarisworks 5.0, which hasn’t been updated since 1997. I’ve resisted changing to anything else, because I’ve been convinced that nothing will be as good as Clarisworks. I still haven’t seen any software as full-featured and customizable for my purposes, not even Dynalist. The only reason I’m switching is because I need to upgrade my operating system, away from Windows7.
Because I love Clarisworks so much, I’ve just stayed put. I haven’t spent a dime on new outliner software in 23 years.
It appears I have another ailment entirely: PISA. Persistent Intractable Software Inertia.
