Well to quote Joe E. Brown at the end of Some Like It Hot, “Nobody’s perfect”, and neither are Mac programmes - or to put it another way, the true Crimper’s work is never done. But I agree with Steve and Chris: DevonThink is pretty good at the things it tries to be good at.

As someone who used software on the PC, including many applications such as UR mentioned here, for many years, before switching most though not all my work to the Mac, I don’t think there’s evidence of generalised developer slackness of effort or inspiration, or weakened customer demand, on either platform. It’s just that some Mac programmes are better for certain tasks, whilst some Windows programmes are better for others. Horses for courses…
