This is great. I've never used these kinds of software even though everyone loves them (no one would ever shut up about Evernote at the jobs I've had). I just never saw the appeal. They're unorganized messes! I've always liked the Unix philosophy when it comes to software, and "Everything Buckets" definitely don't abide by that.
