I can see that approach would work for some, but it doesn’t for me. I get overwhelmed when I’m looking at too much information at one time; I also get frustrated when tools make compromises to add features. Using different tools for different datasets helps me stay focused, e.g. Evernote for work and certain personal data sets, DevonThink for academic research, etc. I use other tools to bring things together at higher levels, e.g. Tinderbox or NovaMind for brainstorming, OmniFocus for task management, iCal for scheduling, etc.

Everyone has their own way; I’ve found mine on my Mac.
