Excellent piece, Steve, thanks for posting. “Banging out an outline” in ways that are obvious is a big piece of what I need, too. What I like about Dynalist (and Outlinely) as opposed to Checkvist (as good as it is), is the plain text editing feel. Modeless editing is easy. On the other hand, there’s power in two modes (so much simpler to manipulate structure with a few keystrokes), but there’s also that little jolt as you move from just editing to waiting for the little software toggle switch to flip. I suspect that Tinderbox is just more firepower than I need. But then I continue to be drawn to Emacs, which is a rabbit hole that runs to Pelucidar. At any rate, I appreciate your writing.
