One thing is for sure, as was already said, each of us has a different priority. So regarding the last few posts that were about whether it’s lightning fast or takes few seconds to capture a website, I must say, I don’t care. The most important feature for me is availability of metadata, cause in this way I can have everything in one program, rather than several of them. This is crucial, cause once you split your data, it’s very hard to create any linkages between data coming from 2 or more softwares.
It’s very important for me to link library items with citations, another data some webpage clippings, contacts to colleagues, calendar, ... all in one place ready to process with LIGHTNING fast search (now the speed is relevant) because of metadata and everything being indexed.
