What attracts me to my campaign information tool (was MyInfo, now KeyNote) is the drill-down tree structure. The lefthand pane has a tree structure, almost like Windows Explorer with one-click drill-down capability. Each page then has it's material in the larger, right-hand pane. This structure makes it easy for me to find, organize and add to my notes.

When there are so many varied topics and inventive, knowledgeable and imaginative people on these boards, I will often find someone mention some bit and quickly be able to move to a specific page in my campaign notes to add that bit or whatever bits it inspired in me.

It's just very handy, very portable (inspiration strikes at work sometimes), and, to my thinking, very elegant.
