I’ve been evaluating myBase Desktop 7.0.0b21 for some time now and I’ve just found odd behavior, reported it and waiting for an answer.
I am definitely for tree-like database. I need encryption and support for big and many attachments/files, so database might be > 1 GB.
Also I need support for indexing attachments (mainly PDF).

I am looking for personal knowledge database software not Personal Information Manager which I use on daily basis (Outlook 2013 + OneNote 2013).
I also am considering OneNote, but it’s horribly cumbersome - I have only 70 MB database with text and inline images!

I don’t know maybe I am just too demanding and picky, but let’s face it - it’s end of 2015, encryption is a must, searching based on regular expressions is a must, indexing attachments is a must.

And huge drawback of all shareware software is support. And I have bought many sharewares from $20 to $300 and only a few of them have support, which we may call support.
For example I’ve mailed 3 messages to Treepad for past two weeks and still no answer. They don’t even publish their contact e-mail address on their website but I was able to google it.
Presales support (questions during trial period) is practically non-existent.
