I'd like to know what you feel is lacking in your current work flow that
you expect CT to improve. CT is an outstanding all-in-one application,
but I don't think it is a better writing environment than Scrivener.
It's not a better outliner than OmniOutliner. It's not a better
reference manager than Sente. And it is not a better free form database
than Devon Think.* You could probably eschew all those other programs
and just use CT, but I'm not sure that will make you more productive,
especially when you add in the learning curve. I'm just curious. Is
there a specific issue you need to address, or are you just suffering
from CRIMP?

Reassuring comment, an all-in-one package cannot supersede the academic workflow I now have in mac. The specific issue we need to address is that Tinderbox is the only software I now that provides tools for conceptualizing and organizing material from a database (DT for example) so that it can be used for writing (Scrivener). There is no time for the learning curve.

As for CRIMP, what I am complaining about is the lack of software in the category of Tinderbox, just the opposite of CRIMP.
