MEITNIK  The original MJ didn't impress me but it looked promising for sure. As a blog/Journal tool it is very useful and powerful. The manual (with great screen shots) is better than most I have recently read, though it does have some rough areas. It needs a quick start guide and better coverage of Applescript support. And it fails to explain well how it handles import of text/opml data, which is important for bringing data from files. An example raw text/RTF for import that gets parsed into a journal and entries would be good. As for features, MJ has done a good job understanding what is needed for bloging and journal writing. However, I would like it to support scholarship stuff too, like source tacking and citation (perhaps via tags somehow?). I do wish hilighting text was more than just coloring. It would be useful to put all the blue text into a smart journal. And some kind of annotation tools for pictures would be good too. I do like how it can suck in a folder and its files into MJ. I love quick notes and the import droplets. And internal linking is good with support for aliasing entries which is wonderful. I do wish some how to paste text that gets parsed into a journal and entries. Finally, I want real outlining in the text area of an entry. I did encounter some crashers and bugs, but Dan was great at helping me and fixing them for newer betas. I look forward to using MJ. :-)
