I would be interested in your comparison between CT and UR, as I ended up using CT for the kind of thing that I thought I’d be using UR. For me one of the main benefits of CT as a wiki is to be liberated from hierarchical organisation (ironic, I know, to say this on an outliner forum).

I’ve also been initially attracted to CT by the Navigator. It’s not really for restructuring things but for visualising your network of relationships and for ... navigating. I’ve only just got into using the Outliner more recently and I like it a lot. CT is pretty flexible, so what is primary or secondary really depends on the user.
