You’re quite right, it’s so useful for answering quiz questions. Should have thought of that.

Ha! FWIW, Findings is from the same developer who made Studies (formerly known as Mental Case). And also makes Manuscripts. So, academe is their interest, perhaps.

Yes, not closely related, I agree. But in the broadest sense they’re both designed for stashing stuff. I’m not a scientist, not any more anyway, but I do keep an eye open for ways of importing and storing material researched for, and notes jotted down for, long-form writing, and those are the uses to which I mainly put DT. On a casual overview, it seems that Findings might do a similar job, though probably more awkwardly.
By and large, I’d be one of the first people to defend DT’s UI against criticism (which as I expect you know, it has faced). DT’s UI is far from where its chief value lies. But I hope the DT developers recognise that macOS application design is moving on, and the Findings UI shows one direction in which it’s going.
