I have been using TiddlyWiki for about 8 months now, and I am glad to say I have finally *settled* on this as my one-and-only note-taking environment.

Works exactly the same anywhere because it is browser based, and very fast and easy to use. I've even stopped using delicious for my bookmarks after discovering "tiddlysnip", which is a firefox extension to insert snips into a tiddlywiki file, so all my links (with my annotations) go into a "my-delicious.html" file and all other notes go into a "my-notes.html".

These two files, each weighing about 350-400 KB, are basically self-contained, code+data, containers that any (r|d)ecent web browser can handle. And it grows very slowly so size isn't really an issue. I mean it's less than half-a-meg still!

I've been using it since 9th March 2006 and am very happy with it too. I used to collect notes in text files in a directory structure. Then I started putting them into info files (!) and I am very happy that Jeremy Ruston created such an elegant application. As things stand the only issue that I'm a bit unhappy with is that I have to manually clean out backups (I have autosave turned on so each edit creates a copy)
