    Smile Do you use Tomboy daily? What for?

    /DISCLAIMER/: I am a Gnome SoC 2007 student applicant. I have already submitted my application, but I'm really interested in looking into daily usage patterns among frequent Tomboy users.

    Explanation on poll:
    - You _can_ vote on multiple items. A lot of us use Tomboy for very diverse things. I use it as a light scratch pad yet I also write whole reports with it, for example.
    - You _can_ vote on the last option if you don't use Tomboy for a certain reason, or if you hate Tomboy with a passion. Please reply and say why! (But please don't select any other option then... it wouldn't make sense would it.)
    - Even if you don't use Tomboy /daily/, but just once a few days, or seldom add things to it but frequently look at the contents in it for reference, please vote as well.

    Feel free to comment on this thread any ideas, interesting uses, complain about the sad lack of network awareness... Feel free to flame too, if you really have the urge to. I'd want to know why you dislike Tomboy!

    Edit: Wow, I'm getting more responses than I expect. The statistics are turning out to be quite interesting... Thanks a lot guys! (But please do vote if you haven't )

    Re: Do you use Tomboy daily? What for?

    I used Tomboy for a little bit to keep track of school notes, lab notes, and code snippets. It was good for what it does and I liked it, but I don't like using mono apps or having mono installed. I'm just not sold on it and there are other applications that don't use mono.

    Re: Do you use Tomboy daily? What for?

    I have to agree with you there, actually. VMs like java and mono seem to put an extraordinary load on my aging laptop... but I do believe they'll become more popular and usable in the future when more of us have better machine specs to run them.

    I've used it and liked it; but, use the notes feature in Opera.

    Re: Do you use Tomboy daily? What for?

    tomboy has become an essential part of my computer use, and the newest version (the one in the feisty repos) is a vast improvement over the one in edgy.

    mono or not, if a program is useful i'll use it - and tomboy most certainly is that.

    Re: Do you use Tomboy daily? What for?

    i rather like tomboy. i think its a neat and convenient little application. i use it for the following:
    -random notes to jot down whilst they are fresh in my mind
    -reminders of things to do in the near or distant future

    i use it a lot.

    I'm learning to love it. The wikified nature of the program let's me keep all of my data VERY organized.

    I haven't used Opera before. How's their Notes feature like? Or more importantly, what made you switch?
