I am really enjoying this thread of discussion. Fully recognizing (almost giddy about it) that any one solution can be the best for one group of doers'n thinkers, it can come up short for other groups of doers'n thinkers (cognitive differences/preferences are one of the beautiful thing that make our species so danged interesting)...
I can't help myself, always wondering: how would I do this/that with TiddlyWiki. There are a lot of angles to cover re taking vs making notes. Maybe we can go over, one-by-one, your list of deep issues that keep TW from being Agile. (Yeah, I"m kind of an over-eager beaver over here, ready to jump at each "feature" and instinctively react with a "why couldn't TiddlyWiki can do that? All rainbows and blue skies and butterflies me...")
