As Samer points out, one of the best features of this app is that you can have multiple 'trees' or tabs per database, which allows much better organization and navigation of larger databases. I guess you could conceivably duplicate this in a traditional outliner that has tabs to open multiple files (and allows you to save a 'workspace'), but it would be a hassle. Microsoft OneNote has similar multi-level organization, but the large app size sort of scares me off. I have yet to try it. The only feature I would like from the pay version is encryption. I may very well end up getting it too. I just started using this app (free version) and really like it.

Overall, the program runs well in WINE, though there are some small problems. I use the program for organizing my research notes, and for organizing a huge amount of information that I cut and paste from the Internet. TreeDBNote's search function is very good- It lets me search for keywords that appear in any document stored in the TreeDB file. Its a powerful, useful note-taking software that I run in Linux (through WINE) , in Windows at school, and from a USB key too. I have been using TreeDBNotes in Linux using WINE for about 2 years now.

Impressions - this software is just plain broken. :( I get numerous errors - sql errors on creating notes, memory errors on changing visual styles, non-default visual styles I tried appear broken (some parts of interface become black and unreadable), few times part of notes just dissapeared into nowhere and reappeared only after restarting program. Interface is rather bloated - took me a while to figure out that pasting some formatted HTML requires long way of "Edit - Import notes... - Import notes" and chosing html file. Maybe there is easier way but I couldn't figure it. PS Evernote portable is not freeware as I understood from their site.

I also can't stand Evernote interface, so I usually just use the search form to find my data. I use Keynote a long time ago, but I abandon it because of the "lame" search functionality.
