Cl0d, exactly what I find marvelous about TiddlyWiki is how much it can be molded to very different purposes. I maintain different TW5 projects for different purposes, with different plugin sets and other customizations suited to the purposes of each project.
Two things that I suspect I do more than most people are: (1) Make a dynamic table, using the Shiraz plugin, for virtually every important tag. It offers a great compact way to get the big picture on any slice that interests me. I used to use TOC-style tiddlers for this purpose, and that structure still has uses, but the dynamic table is more powerful. I love that I can structure each such dynamic table to focus on the fields that are important for that particular tag. (Of course, you can build a dynamic table around criteria other than tags, but that's my main workhorse use.) I also tend to populate my stylesheet with tag-specific css, so that there are clear visual cues as to which kind of tiddler we're looking at. (I use TW for teaching. So, a quiz question tiddler has a look and feel that differs from an author-specific tiddler or a definition tiddler or a tiddler focused on excerpts from the readings, etc.) (2) Liberally employ a "details" GUI for things that I don't want to see (or don't want to show to students) unless/until it's time to dig in deeper. I use telmiger's details plugin, because it's super-flexible about the contents within the details area (allows any formatting or markup you can think of within the hidden "pocket" area). But to put ordinary text elaboration into a details "pocket," Shiraz's details function is simple and great too.
