Two Pane Outliner Shootout

I’m a heavy user of both MyInfo and OneNote—as well as some other apps such as Evernote, CintaNotes, and RightNote—and, I suspect like many other people, am trying to reduce my reliance on OneNote as it slopes toward obsolescence.

Just a few thoughts about MyInfo: Petko’s work on version 7 is coming along slowly but steadily (I’m a beta tester), and when it’s completed it will, for me at least, nicely take over most of the tasks of OneNote. As far as I can tell, the only two ON functions I will miss in MyInfo are the ability to install it on my iPhone (Petko says he hopes to make it cross-platform, but I suspect that will take a while to do) and OneNote’s OCR of text images. The latter I can accomplish with third-party software, though that’s slightly less convenient. Otherwise I would offer the generalization that version 7 of MyInfo will do essentially everything that version 6 already does and will add some new capabilities and refinements. I look forward to using it even more in the future and hope to gradually shift my old material out of OneNote.
