"It all leads to one conclusion: there is no perfect universal notetaking software, because there is no one universal user. (cue the "duhs" from the audience)"

I don't think anyone could have said it better. Which would explain why there are so many different types of note taking software and every other type of software. Great point.

If you're going to do a rundown of this these types of programs, I'd like to recommend the note taking software (http://www.notescribe.net), NoteScribe. You compared the benefits of online and offline products, and in the next few months, NoteScribe will be offering both. This way, the program can satisfy people that prefer one over the other (or people that want both!). I hope that you might check out the program and consider it for your rundown of note taking software, I think you'll find that NoteScribe can go head to head with most note software on the market.
