I haven't contributed to this thread because I still struggle with a concise view of what Leo is. Sometimes I think of it as a multitool http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f1/Victorinox_Multitool.jpg/800px-Victorinox_Multitool.jpg
but this analogy breaks down because "in real life", a multitool is typically great if you have nothing else but not as good as the specialized tools it replaces. In a computing environment that's not necessarily true - there may be something faster as an outline note taker, but I'd have to learn how to use it, and if Leo is already more than good enough, there's no point. Compared with using a dedicated screwdriver instead of a multitool, which of course has no learning curve. For most people. :-) In some ways Leo is like Emacs, but with a modern GUI, Python instead of Lisp, and a more useful core data structure (outline instead of text buffers). >From the home page: Leo scripts have full access to Leo's source code and all outline data. what about Leo scripts have full access to all outline data, to Leo's internal code and state, and to Leo's GUI controls. Neither one will mean much to some people, but the second will be a stronger hook for people who do understand what you're getting at.
