Okay - let's have a look...

[edit] Hit list
[edit] Cocoa
Nope. Tinderbox is cross-platform: kiss of death in my book. Nothing great is ever cross-platform. Oh, apart from the web, I mean.
[edit] Hooks and more hooks
I want a universal “drop box†to which I can periodically return to process, file, and enrich any kind of productivity app data (reminders, phone numbers, notes, etc.). Well, sort of. Tinderbox supports limited drag and drop, but - as with so much Boxy - there's more to it than that.
[edit] Tags
For real. Hardcore metadata.
[edit] IMAP-like syncing
Not so much. But you can pass Tinderbox documents around easily. They are XML. No, really! There's pretty good read-from-web, not so great write-back-to-web. And no HTTP. Yet. It's not 'live', if you see what I mean.
[edit] Smart groups and ad hoc collections
I want all my “stuff†to reside in a big pile, and then I want smart help to script it, organize it, and associate it however I like. Oh yes!
[edit] Smart associations and intra-project linking
Related to the previous wish, I want a more mature version of Entourage 2004’s “Project Center†that lets me identify items (contacts, todos, calendar items, notes) to automatically be associated with a given project. The catch is, I want those projects themselves to be nestable, so that I can scoot them around, change their status, or even move them to a completely different client with dragging alone: no time consuming manual re-tagging, please ... Yes again
[edit] So how did we do?
3.5 out of 6? Could be worse.
