I've used both TiddlyFox and TiddlyDesktop lately and I find there is only 
one feature that I really care about in TiddlyFox, and it isn't even a 
feature of TiddlyFox itself. One of the extensions I use in Firefox 
(Vimperator) allows you to send the input of a text area to an external 
editor (Vim). I find this really useful for a few reasons:

- Syntax highlighting, particularly when editing JavaScript or CSS, is nice.
- Vim keybindings in general make me more efficient. This is often useful 
for taking meeting notes. True, a long set of meeting notes will often need 
to be broken up into multiple tiddlers - but it's sometimes easier to do 
that afterwards.

If there was any way to send the contents of a tiddler to an external 
editor while working in TiddlyDesktop, I would never look back.
