I've used, and even paid for CintaNotes (if memory serves). Unless things
have changed, CintaNotes is windows-only, text-only. Can't use it on your
mobile devices, and you'll have to pay up to get the latest premium
versions. I was using it for awhile when I thought I had made a final
commitment to Windows. But I have to admit, from time to time I see other
operating systems.
So ... I would rank TiddlyWiki better than CN in most every category that
matters. CN does have a nice clean interface, but so does TW.
Evernote is great for capturing information. Much better than TW,
especially in terms of images or documents with images. The price isn't too
bad for what you get. But, it's proprietary and opaque. You need a
connection to their servers in order to instantiate a new installation --
which means that if they go out of business your current desktop install
will be your last install. Will EN be in business in two years? They did
have a lot of layoffs, and they don't seem to be addressing certain user
issues. Will they suddenly change their rate structure the way InfoSelect
did? Will they be hacked again? Why don't they offer client-side encryption
so you don't have to worry about personal data?
So, I use EN for grabbing non-personal documents, which is something that
is difficult to do well in TW.
I've concluded over time that the personal information system I want should
be open source, preferably written in a language where I could do my own
tweaks, multi-platform, with an active and knowledgeable user community.
I haven't found any system outside of TW that checks off as many boxes.
