Wiki -- Why?

Daly,

I agree with you that formatting is the stumbling block for me. Perhpas I’m just used to doing things in the WYSWYG mode these days. I agree with others that linking and free-flowing structure are the key strengths of Wiki, but no matter how many times I tried Connectedtext or NoteStudio, I always abandoned it for another program that offers the WYSWYG edit mode. I need to keep track of a lot of information, and my main needs are quick entry and organizing, excellent search and export(file/print) capability, and ConnectedText and NoteStudio seem to be good at search/export, but fails me greatly when it comes to quick entry (with formatting) and quick organizing (category and keyword assignment). Also it should tax the system performance and resouces a lot since I’m running it 24/7 while the PC is on.

For now, I found Evernote 1.5 to be the best of the bunch when it comes to meeting my needs. YMMV however.
