The ultimate outliner

Doctor,
I notice Bonsai appears frequently in your wishlist.
I have used ECCO as a general purpose outliner for years for contact lists, family trees, diaries, work schedules, software evaluation, etc, etc.However the software has been getting increasingly ‘fragile’ over the years (I keep getting a warning that ECCO has failed; please restart, which I can ignore).
After a lot of research into a replacement I loaded Bonsai. This is so nearly ideal it is sad:
Some single pane outliners have columns. Dual pane outliners have a notes pane. But Bonsai seems to be unique in having a Notes pane AND columns. What a pity the columns are preset and cannot be renamed or re-data-typed, unlike ECCO.
(This text will be pasted into Bonsai with a reminder to check for reply(s).
