Well, Ahmed. If you tell us more about your needs, we’ll be able to answer your questions and maybe point to software that fits your needs best.
1. What do you want to use the software for? Info collection is a bit ... general.
2. You probably do not need syncing with iOS or Android - right? Only EPIM offers that.
3. What do you find attractive about ConnectedText, EssentialPIM and Imapping? They are very different pieces of software.
And: Are you aware of the fact that ConnectedText is probably not going to be developed any longer? And that the last version of Imapping dates from 2017 (though there still is life on the website - there are new blog posts).

I will use the program for storing information, articles, notes, pictures, text blocks, every possible file types, should have search and tags, not interested in syncing
Essential pim has a lot of staff tasks mail notes
Imapping visual and zooming is nice looking
Connectedtext has good search and tags

Sorry, I was too fast.
I use Evernote and NotebooksApp on Windows, iOS and MacOS. And Devonthink on MacOS and iOS.
Though Evernote is far from perfect, I still use it for capturing while working in Windows and for syncing with my main depository Devonthink.
