Hello Stephen and all,
1. What were you looking for when you first found Tiddlywiki? I was trying to set something like Wikipedia where I could put up notes and various ofs bit information. Not being satisfied with the level of technical setup I decided that was not my cup of tea. After I decided to go to Evernote and that also wasn't what what I was looking for. Then I did a Google search for "offline wiki" or "serverless wikis" and Jeremy's Tiddlywiki came up. Love at first sight! Ever since I've been using first TW Classic and now TW 5 2. Was there anything about the program, the eco-system, whatever, that frustrated you nearly to the point of giving up on it? Always have always considered myself a happily frustrated user. Personally having the TW Google Group around was made everything worthwhile. however, looking back, trying to install plugins, making them work, and updating them was the hardest initially. 3. What made you stick with the program? I'd say I've stuck with Tiddlywiki for its usefulness, size, portability, and malleability. Tiddlywiki is just great!
