>... I'm just not sure where to invest my time.

I use core as well with minimal set-up - no fields, limited plugins to 
future-proof parsing down the road to another system if browser dependency 
someday breaks. 

But there are so many cool things that it is hard not to try/play :-) and 
if you think of TiddlyWiki as a document as well as a database, quine, SPA 
et al, you can have as many different forms you want: a template wiki,  
playground testing wiki, project wiki, subject matter wikipedia-type wiki, 
wikiwiki, etc The import/export is mature and versatile to port amongst and 
beyond.

If I want to try something new, i template empty.html by tagging nifty 
imported stuff that works well with a tag like TwAddOn. That way I can 
export - import to a new iteration as needed. Even though i also use 
another wiki, TiddlyWiki is so fast for prototyping and the learning 
curve/self-contained interoperability is waay lower than setting up LAMP 
and trying to send that by email to a friend :-)  Well worth the time to 
play with.

The nice thing is TiddlyWiki has stood the test of time and remains fresh 
with great helpful experts/enthusiasts/community and surprisingly 
refreshingly progressive upgrades/updates from Jeremy et al.

Have fun, 
another tony
