RightNote's problems

It’s too bad, although I suppose not surprising.

I’ve been using RightNote as my main information manager for some time now. I’ve realized that I simply prefer “old school:” offline and native Windows software rather than ports of javascript apps.

In the old-school arena, RN is my favorite of the tree-based organizers, because of:

- multiple trees per file
- note-based, but the search can find individual paragraphs within a note
- the editor is really great; very pleasant to write in
- I use the task list note type to have multiple task lists sitting throughout the file near the other information they relate to
- I like and use the spreadsheet note type quite a bit
- I’m a programmer, so I also use the source code note type for storing code snippets
- the clipper is great
