Remember I said "At the top level?" The beauty of VimOutliner is that with an easy hotkey it can spawn LyX editing your math analysis, or a music editor editing your new song, or Inkscape editing your new logo, and when you're brainstorming, you're using VimOutliner itself to host your idea hierarchy in realtime. With VimOutliner at the top level, you're always using the right tool, and all your knowledge is in a single tree, easily drilled down to whatever you need at the time.
