I use DevonThink Pro with Sente, and Scrivener to research and write. I take notes in DevonThink using citation tags from Sente. When I want to recall any topic, subject, or author, I can find it in a snap. All of my finished work in Word goes back into DevonThink in case I need to recall anything in the future.
Thanks for the hard work and continued updates.
I would find it hard to believe that anyone who has invested some time with DevonThink and does any type of research wouldn't love it.

They are working on it, but the synching of DBs betweens Macs is still not available. The iPad/iPhone apps is horribly slow to render documents compared to the Dropbox app. Dropbox does support the synching of the DT DBs – i.e. it knows the format, but it’s unofficial and the resulting directory/file structure if you want to browse it is horrible.
Furthermore I never really like centralized proprietary databases, and I can’t leverage Time Machine.
Bottom line, with Fujitsu ScanSnap software (which includes ABBYY FineReader) properly configured, a good directory structure, Time Machine, Dropbox, PathFinder and QuickLook, I’m not really using DT Pro anymore.

Either approach will work well, depending on the user's preferences and workflows. My own preference is for Import captures, and I avoid duplication by deleting the captured files from the Finder, or archiving them to an external storage device.
2) DT Pro Office's Global Inbox is placed in the User's Application Support folder. It is intended as a temporary inbox for new content, and allows adding content via the Sorter even when DT Pro Office isn't running. When the application is running, one can save new files created from other applications, such as Word or Numbers, directly to the Global Inbox by saving the file to the Inbox place in the Finder. One can create multiple databases which are normally stored in the Documents folder.
3) I find the working environment in DEVONthink much richer than in the Finder, including Spotlight and Default Folder. DEVONthink provides artificial intelligence assistants such as Classify to assist in filing chores and See Also to suggest contextually related documents. Searches and smart groups in DEVONthink provide a number of options that are not available in Spotlight and the Finder. DEVONthink Pro Office is highly scriptable and a number of scripts and templates are provide to extend features, such as linking annotations to references or creating and linking documents to an iCal calendar event or To Do list.
As DEVONthink databases are optionally indexable to Spotlight, if that option is chosen for a database in Database Properties, Spotlight can find documents within a DEVONthink database.
DEVONthink also includes built-in tagging, and tags can be used as filters in searches in addition to other query filters.
Comment: I work with DEVONtechnologies Support.

But Devonthink is flexible enough and it can index linked folders also. It also index data in open metadata, and thankfully is searchable from Spotlight.
For research on the web and keep control of info, it's perfect
The integration with web browsers is a must, when researching, is fantastic to know that Devonthink automatically records the origin of the documents, it's timesaving that it auto find duplicates and instantly show you similar already saved documents. The Sidebar sorter is well built and very flexible.
It's a very powerful app and it's a little hard to understand all it can offer since the other "similar" apps for mac os x doesn't even come close to it. Its very fast also, just hope the startup of it will be faster.
Some better implementations I personally miss, so this is a message for the developer to make it even better:
- It needs a better database, it would be very convenient to simple create a database on DevonThink, Data Sheet are present but has the following problems:
When creating a sheet, it doesn't have the option to give attributes like data, text, etc, what makes sorting columns wrong, with "date" input types for example. Sheets should be more robust and developed. So no chance to create here a small database.

I do have some nitpick issues about the UI, and the slightly retro feel of the UI, but I can live with those because the product itself is so critical to me for project management, archiving, and keeping my shit together. In regards to value-for-money, I can't think of any other software application that I regard so well, except OSX itself.

I agree with Cookie 08, there must be an issue elsewhere. Perhaps the preference file is corrupted. Have you trashed it to see?

It is very simple to use, I can drag almost everything into the data base. it gives users much more convienence.
I love the ABBY services coming with the software. It is very useful when I import some scientific papers which are not pdf formatted.
It does support apple scripts and this is quite nice because i can create my own ones to do the routine job i want, like send things to mail, create todo list, etc...
it has much more amazing features which make my daily work job much more easier....one word, i love devonthink office pro...
