Hello Chris, Thanks for starting a new thread & sharing your perception.
My initial feedback: If Leo (as is) fulfills all of your needs, then that's a good/ great status for you! Another feedback: IMO a lot of the discussion focuses on the questions: Should more things be added to the Leo environment (the Application, the IDE, the Outliner, the PIM, etc.) - or - can (must?/ should?) the experience from Leo's past & presence be used to extend other communitie**s** & environment**s**? I'm repeating myself: I always understood the original contribution from 'tfer' as an input for the later one ...
