| Well, I've tried Treepad (Business Edition) and its been the best one I've tried so far. I'm still not completely happy with it but I like it better than GSNotes.
I'm having some interface issues with it. For instance, I cut and pasted a table from GSNotes into Treepad and it ran off the right side of the screen, but no horizontal scrollbar appeared and I couldn't find any way to get over to move the right end. Perhaps there is a properties screen that will let me manually edit the size of the table but I really can't understand why it didn't just give me a scrollbar.
One other thing I've noticed is that it doesn't seem to reproduce webpages quite as well as GSNotes did. One of the things I want to do with it is copy in webpages and parts of webpages as a way of keeping track of things I looked up on the web for my campaign. It does this fine except they don't seem to look quite the same. I'll have to try saving in the html format it has instead of the "regular" treepad format and see how that works.
I also can't find a way to edit the toolbars. I'd like to add a command to one of the toolbars, which GSNotes let me do but Treepad won't. In general, I find a number of things in both programs that don't really function intitively (which is unusual as I generally find most applications pretty intuitive).
Treepad wins mostly because it has a more "open" format. That is important for the reasons barsoomcore mentions above. It will let me get my data out more easily even without the program. That's important. I also find it seems to work a bit better than GSNotes in some ways and is a bit less annoying in the quirks of its interface.
I'm still open to other options though. I haven't found a program I'm completely happy with yet.
