<p>Thanks for the replies to my support questions. I have/had been a fan of<br>
VoodooPad since... let's see... at least as far back as about 2006?...<br>
maybe earlier. I think I dove in at VP 2.x... but I don't remember. It's<br>
been a while.</p>
<p>I spent the past several years remaining steadfastly loyal to VoodooPad,<br>
even as doubts grew. I introduced and extolled VP to a wide array of<br>
friends, students, and colleagues. I always hoped and believed that VP<br>
would evolve into the amazing tool I envisioned. But, I'm out of faith. It<br>
started with my impression of Gus M. as someone who didn't take VP<br>
seriously. That was confirmed when he abandoned the project. At several<br>
points I conducted multiple surveys of possible alternative solutions,<br>
including deep looks into all available wiki systems, Tinderbox, graph<br>
databases systems, knowledge base solutions -- far too many products to<br>
list. At several points I also did some parallel development with<br>
DEVONthink and VoodooPad, but I always ended up sticking with VP. However<br>
about 3 months ago I started work on a programming language<br>
documentation/tutorial system, and I realized in a moment of clarity that<br>
VoodooPad was a fundamentally flawed solution. And in that moment I made a<br>
decision to switch my entire workflow and production environment to<br>
DEVONthink. I'm since convinced I could not have made a better choice. At<br>
this point I have one or two legacy databases still in VoodooPad, but I'm<br>
planning on converting those to DEVONthink this summer.</p>

<p>The fact that you've lost me as a loyal supporter/user should raise a red<br>
flag. I'll tell you straight away that giving up VoodooPad was a immensely<br>
freeing decision. I have absolutely no second thoughts or regrets about<br>
it... except that I wonder why it took me so long.</p>
<p>Funny... I actually considered including here a final list of suggestions<br>
of how I think you could improve VoodooPad. Old habits die hard.</p>
<p>So long,</p>
