Oh yes, and I call this squeezing the last drops out of the market (as had been doing the askSam people for some years with their doomed version 7).

There’s some Brian-not-connected on bits who declares UR “the best (...) in its class and is better than One Note, Evernote and similar offerings by a long way.” - of course, this is so outrageously wrong that you could establish a long list of points proving that 1) it always comes down to your individual priorities - what am I willing to give up for some feature I’m in absolute need of, and that 2) the above assertion is a big lie, UR in fact, by its absence of real development, sharply diving from “best in its class” to the bottom of its class, its competitors recouping its formerly strengths element by element.

And of course they don’t give any hint WHEN the new features they advertize there will be available, so you’re basically purchasing vaporware.

Non-destructive (!) sorting of tree parts would have been a good features, years ago, and will even be if it’s introduced in 2020, but perhaps there is a chance to get similar flat lists from some competitor’s search function (searching for an asterisk, “in this subtree”), and then sorting the entries within the search results list, in the meanwhile. Some of us need functionality now, not in some distant future.

As for Brian-not-connected’s lies, that might be a problem for the respective developers of MyInfo, myBase, Treepad Business/Enterprise, Notecase Pro, InfoQube, Whizfolders, Info Select, Zoot, Connected Text and The Brain - in fact, it would be their business to silence liars like Brian-not-connected on bits, by listing all the missing elements that today make UR inferior to their products, after years of UR complacency, instead of further development.

Btw, people “answering for the developers” on bits ain’t even able to make the difference between destructive, and then non-destructive sorting. Bits is for marketing purposes; software users trying to get some knowledge out of it will just get blah-blah they then take for facts.

I’m happy for the longtime UR user quant that UR always meets his demands; mine have developed over time, and one of them being a minimum of “responsiveness” from the side of the respective developer - cf. what I said about secondary content panes, and then what Pierre Paul Landry promptly promised for InfoQube.

So it might be time to not try to bring new users to UR anymore - they would be in for too many deceptions after becoming that UR is not the leader of its class anymore, and has not been anymore for at least 5 or 6 years, but if it misses a feature today, standard is you’ll have to live without that feature even in 2020, which is, fortunately, not the case for all of its competitors.
