Hi Mat I'm not sure if it's what you're really driving, but there is an outstanding bug that is badly affecting the speed of TW5 under certain conditions:
https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/206 Your words about the difficulties of navigating title, tags and tiddlers are fair comment, but I don't think TW is claiming to be the quickest way to commit notes to a computer; that would always, always be a matter of typing into one big free text field, such as a text editor. I'd entirely agree that the organisational process gets in the way of note keeping. But TiddlyWiki isn't intended just to be a quick chute down which to throw your ideas at speed; it's about organising your ideas. And that requires some investment. The hope is that TW(5) gets the balance right in terms of the ease of getting things down in the first place versus the flexibility needed to subsequently build and maintain a structure. Anyhow, the comment is taken in good spirit: TW is what we make it, and it will change and adapt in response to how you use it.
