Some standout features include the "all" and "more" c...
I'm forced to use OneNote at work (firm standard for meeting notes).
I saw some good potential in it when it first came out ... then Microsoft stopped improving it a long time ago.
The most striking ...

TheBrain 9 reaches its beta phase
10/29/2016
I would rather have the developers focus on core usability issues and shipping the new release in a stable state?
Arguably, another distraction that further slows down development is the last thing Th...
Southbeach Modeller vs TheBrain
3/29/2016
I was a long time (ten years) user of TheBrain. Ultimately, with the new subscription model, I didn't renew my professional subscription after years without significant updates.
TheBrain is still a un...
An alternative to Circus Ponies Notebook

I would strongly recommend checking out Curio if you haven't already: http://www.zengobi.com/products/curio/
More advanced paradigm than CP Notebook for sure, you may find it "too much" if your workf...
Ulysses 2.1 for iPad/Mac - folding, .docx

My reason to use Daedalus was support for iPhone (Ulysees on iPad).
Now ... just started beta testing the iPhone version of Daedalus. Really liking it so far :-) Will not miss Daedalus.
Sway (MS Office Online)

Not sure if this is correct, please google "Microsoft Morea". Sway seems to be a continuation of that effort ... (which started five years ago - predating S.N.)

Not a permanent answer to your question for a Clarisworks replacement, but a stepping stone perhaps to get off the sinking ship:
Libreoffice allegedly started to support Clarisworks files (read-only)....
You should check out Excel 2013 Power Pivot (... typically in combination with Power Query and Power View).

Yes, I believe it is that good.

Your top 3 tools?
2/27/2013
survival on a lonely island would probably work if I had these
1. Office
2. MindManager
3. Dtsearch
(now, I guess that for most folks in this forum "top 30" would be easier to answer :-)
Powerpoint slide library

Just started using a new tool today: "Business Slide Index" (www.slideidex.eu).
Doesn't allow for tagging, or any other advanced functionality -- but creates a very enjoyable graphical PowerPoint brow...

@Franz - I am getting fantastic benefits from the integration of WritingOutliner with Word 2010 as add-in.
If your concern is specifically about "borrowing" ideas from Scrivener, I would argue that th...
Microsoft Word Outlines

Funny thing is I bet they limited it to 9 levels to be able to retain export compatibility with Word.
I don't think there's a good workaround if you need more than 9 levels.
Do you frequently find you...
