Data organizers, outliners, etc.

It is useful to have a place to organize information that you need to refer to.

For years I used WikidPad. It is a cool Python based standalone wiki.

I wanted to mention a few I've tried recently and my thoughts about them.

The Guide is a native win32 C++ application. It is small, stable, can be portable. It seems rock solid.

KeepNote is cross platform (implemented in Python), has multiple layout options, tabs, stores notes in HTML/XML.

TreeSheets is the latest program I've been using for certain types of information. It is a pretty cool way of organizing information. You can also view your information in different ways - in grid form, as bubbles, and with lines ala "mind mapping" format.

It's website calls TreeSheets a "free form data organizer" and "The ultimate replacement for spreadsheets, mind mappers, outliners, PIMs, text editors and small databases".
