No, there was no sarcasm intended.

My first post in this thread made it clear that I use Windows and was relating my experience with Windows based outliners. I had neglected to acknowledge AllMyNotes so I did. I also neglected to mention Info Select and some mind managers (Freeplane, XMind and TheBrain) which can be pressed into service as outliners (some have outliner-type trees).

I agree with your comments about AllMyNotes. It is hard on my eyes and the interface is more cartoon-like. There are some interesting features though, but it has been a long time since I looked at the program and I only vaguely remember what they are.
