Back-to-Basic feature suggestions

I've never been a MORE user, but if anyone would want to try it out (in 
either classic OS or Classic mode on OS X), it is available for free 
download. I mention it just for comparison.

I tried it out, and did not grok it. Perhaps because the download didn't 
have the hardbound documentation? ;) I think I also had stability problems,
  using it in OS 9.x.

Anyway, the most direct spiritual successor may be the outliner in 
Userland's Frontier and Radio Userland products. (I never took the time to 
fully learn the outliner, but that may be more because Userland's docs are 
sometimes incoherent and sometimes hard to track down.) But as a pure 
outliner (rather than a full-on scripting environment, which Frontier and 
RU are), I really enjoy OmniOutliner. OO is one of those apps (along with 
Graffle) that make me want to use OS X.

Note: Both Frontier and Radio Userland are now carbonized for use in OS X.
  Radio is available as a free download with a 30-day trial, and is now 
targetted as a personal Web development platform. (It's market changes 
every couple of weeks, it seems. Last year, it was an MP3 player. I kid 
you not.)
