Punakea is a little app trying to help you cope with the day-to-day struggle of managing your files. Designed to complement Spotlight, it allows you to tag your files and bookmarks, freeing you of the strict hierarchy of the Finder's folder structure.
A "tag" is like a keyword. Tags can help you to group files which have something in common. You can assign as many tags as you wish to each file.
With its sidebar, it's always accessible with just a flick of the mouse, just drag and drop without any hassle. The tag cloud gives you a perfect view of all your tags.

I do however take huge issue with the fact that the software has turned into vaporware. HoudahSpot is continually been adding welcome new features while Punakea has just been sitting there. Getting a powerful app is a much bigger deal to me then how much I pay for it.

Somebody said that they could have called it version 2 and be done with it. Sure, if they had added any significant features. Only minor work has been done to get it to comply with the App Store rules, not more. The 1.2.1 version of the app is essentially the same as the 1.1.6 one, hence the similarity in version numbers. I paid for the app, but will not "upgrade", not even for $10. I'd rather spend extra cash on a new tagger.

I bought Punakea two years ago at $25, just like you. They could have called this new release v.2, and then done what other devs have done: Call the $10 an "upgrade" fee.
But that's pretty much semantics, right?
I do agree that the MAS mechanism's inability to allow upgrades and coupons is problematic, and hopefully it will change in the future. But on the other hand, the software that was $25 is now much, much cheaper!

- It does play nice with other OpenMeta taggers, it will find all files tagged with any OpenMeta compliant tagger. The 'Rebuild Tag Database' command is just there to add names of tags added only with other taggers to the Punakea tag cloud.
- I'm not sure what you mean by "other metadata in Spotlight", Punakea reads and writes only the metadata using OpenMeta. Also, Spotlight is the fundamental technology all tagging applications until now are based on (including and especially OpenMeta), so all of them depend on Spotlight
- The Tag Folder is an optional feature that you don't need to enable if you do not like it. A lot of users find it convenient to have an automatically created folder structure resembling their tagged files, e.g. for browsing in an "Open Document" window. In any case, if you do not like it, disable it in the Preferences, and it will be gone. You are right, though, that the folder structure is not perfect, as it does indeed not reflect name changes of tags. You can however rebuild the folder at any point in time by switching it off and on in the preferences.
Sorry for the hassle you had with Punakea, we've tried to build it to suit many different uses. Unfortunately, sometimes a feature that is perfect for one user is annoying for another one.

If there is a comment, the problem is with spotlight, if not, please go to http://www.nudgenudge.eu/support and tell us in our forums (we are checking them more frequently than macupdate).
Punakea works perfectly for my external firewire drive.
