I personally do not use a Mac on a regular basis, although there are times I wish that I do. I have a graduate student who bought a new Mac based on my recommendation, and I pointed him to a couple of programs (Notetaker, Notebok, Omini Outliner, etc.). He couldn’t be happier with the choice of outlining software in the Mac platform. In my experience, Windows outlining programs cannot touch some of these programs in terms of overall combination of the ease of use, functionality, visual attractiveness, and integration.

Just my 2 cents.
