It actually does have a Wiki-like linking scheme… you can link words of a note to other nodes and even assign those links different classes (e.g. agree, disagree, depends on). However I can’t figure out how to get the linked words to show up as hyperlinks or highlighted text in the note editing window. There’s probably a way but like everything Tinderbox it’s obtuse. (You can however see the links by pressing the Links button and then Browse links, but that’s obviously not particularly nice.)

DevonThink 2.0 manages multiple databases really nicely. The unified global inbox (meant to be a global inbox across multiple databases) is not yet implemented in the current beta though, as far as I can tell.
