The feature I want is simple password security, a timed lockout of the app when I get up to eat dinner and forget to hide it from my family's prying eyes. I don't need encryption just a simple cover for my work I can set to a timer such as 3 minutes.
The UI element I really don't like is the Take Note window which is transparent black. This is horribly difficult to read and type in and serves no actual purpose except to look ugly. Please, Mr. Developer redesign the Take Note window to be a nice looking, well formatted standard grey window. Thanks!

I bought this package shortly before 2.0 came out, when the developer was offering a 2.0 upgrade for any buyers of 1.x after that date.
That was five years ago; the 2.0 release was in 2008. And several times now, the Devon people have put out some pretty big new features (especially on the Pro Office package, which I don't have), without upping the major release number.
If you're going to spend anything more than $10 or $20 on a piece of organizational/research software, it's nice to know that that "planned obsolescence" is not the developer's strategy.
Aside from that, it's just really good software. I tried a bunch of these products that make information capture and organization easy. Yojimbo's capture is probably easier, but not by very much if you use DevonThink's Sorter. DevonThink can also capture from a lot of different places in your workflow -- browser extension, print-to-PDF dialogue, global Inbox in your Finder, all mean you can capture any time the thought comes to you.
But none of the other information managers out there provide you with anything like the kinds of tools you get from DevonThink for whipping your information into shape once you've captured it. Seriously, there's just no contest. There's an AI for suggesting cross-references and filing/tagging locations, you can auto-file all the stuff in your inbox if you've learned to trust that AI, you can annotate and edit PDFs, HTML, and Rich Text...
It's just flat sick, is what it is.
And, since it's basically morally wrong to keep a guy's stuff in a proprietary database with no way out (and there are information managers that do this), you can export to plain old files-and-folders that mimic your groups/tags, and navigate them through the Finder.

I wavered for a very long time before purchasing this app (and have tried most of its competitors). It seems that you do get what you pay for. There are many cheaper products out there but none can match DevonThink in features and performance in my opinion.

Capturing a page from a web-browser (whether as Text, Webarchive, or PDF) is useless, because, except for tags and folders designated as favorite, not all paths in the database are available from the save panel. The same issue is encountered when saving a page via the scripts from the script folder.
Equally frustrating is it's inability to make hyperlinks in a page, because, again, not all paths are available. This was true in Leopard, and it continues to be true in Snow Leopard.
I have for a long time refrained from rating DTP because I really like what DTP does, waiting update after update to see this resolved, but time is up. I will revise my rating as the developer corrects the problem.

I've tried some of the other suggestions here, but the other apps mentioned don't all do what DevonThink does.
DevonThink is a very good piece of software if you have a little dedication in the beginning of re-organizing your sock drawer or chaos bin. That's the hardest part of getting organized.
DevonThink can help with that. Start tagging data & categorizing & it only gets easier to rearrange as the databas(es) grow.
To make this work best, you need to stay with organizing your data until some structure becomes evident that works for you. If you have that capacity, this is a slick application.

DEVONthink Pro Office is the most feature rich of it's kind.
There are no bugs what's or ever only improvements from time to time.
So I guess it's one thing to be on top, but another to stay there!
I'm happy to know that the future will bring me lots of satisfaction with this software and my money was well spend on this (four years ago!!).
Thank you for the great work on this software that I can rely on.

I didn't like it and found the app to be too heavy, ugly and awful.
A bundle allowed me to upgrade to DevonThink Pro. I gave it a try, again. And used it for what is is for:
putting information in a database. But information related to my projects (not everything on my hard drive like I was doing before): research results, leads, ideas...
To long to describe everything you can do with this app.
Just a piece of advice: don't try to use it to replace the finder. Use it as a tool that can gather all your data in a structured database.
The longer you use it, the more it will contain information and the more it becomes useful.
If you're searching the web a lot, just use DTPro with Devon Agent. It's a bomb.
Some stuff I miss, though: the feature to record audio notes directly from Devonthink.
And a writing interface that wouldn't ashame me when I show it to other people.
Powerful app. But to handle with reason and focus.

As to people spelling and grammar, with 1 in 3 people suffering from some form of dyslexia it dose not bother me as long as I am able to understand the gist of whats been said.
To highlight such things as poor spelling and grammar just shows poor up bring and bad manners. Which is why when you look at the comments on your profile they are main bad.
Maybe a little less time on your computer and a bit more time with people would teach you some basic interpersonal skills which you seem to be sadly lacking.

Alas, I can't seem to reinstall DTPros Services, because when I choose "Install Add-ons" from the Help menu, I get the regular dialog box, but when I click "Install" this crashes DTPro beta every single time.
Anyone else have this problem == and anyone else able to get DTPro's Services to be available under Snow Leopard? (I have sent Devon Technologies an e-mail about this.)

They said:
"just disable the option "Global Inbox in Save Dialogs" in the Install Add-ons... panel"
and sure enough, that did it!
(Of course, with Snow Leopard, you may in some instances have to go to System Preferences/Keyboard/Keyboard Shortcuts and enable the Service you are wanting to activate -- and change the keyboard command, too, if you want, another way-cool feature of Snow Leopard)
Good luck!

I also hoped DTP would have some tag-based organization, like iTunes, rather than a directory hierarchy (which is broken because there isn't a unique correct hierarchy...)
+17
I'm in process of building an associated database covering chemical analytical methodologies (both US and EU), statistical and other procedures and issues related to the evaluation of environmental data, sampling methodologies, etc. This may likely grow larger than my main database.
Splitting out the very specific methodological material not only keeps my main database speedier, but keeps the AI features and searches in my main database from being diluted by the specifics in the methodologies database. That's important.
As to organizational structure, personally I've never considered my organization hierarchical.
I approach organization as putting 'clusters' of related content into groups, as well as 'clustering' related groups.
Many of my documents are replicated into two or more groups. Likewise, I often replicate a group into two or more 'clusters' of groups. I will use smart groups to replicate documents for a particular purpose, or replicate results of a search into a new group of related items.
I rarely tag individual documents, as I rely on the combination of grouping, searches and the 'See Also' AI feature to identify material in the process of a research project. DT Pro provides other tricks such as Option-click on a term to see other documents that use that term, Command-/ to initiate a search on a text string, and 'See Selected Text' to provide a list of potentially related documents.
In the process of a project I'll often create rich text notes linking to documents of special interest, or 'mark' them temporarily (I usually clear such marks later) using label or state marking.
