Hello, Mark, I've been using both a Windows Vista PC and a Mac OS X /Leopard iMac.
I, too, reviewed LOTS of tools prior to finding TiddlyWiki. TiddlyWiki has so many uniquely powerful features that set it apart. Portability. Flexibility. Compactness. Speed. Extensibility. As you say, its customizability is both a strength and a limitation. Like certain highly desirable life-partners, it is "high maintenance!" But that doesn't limit his or her desirability; often it makes them seem all the more desirable. I think that may be the case here.
