 * Commentary from User:RobLa

I've been working with Zim off-and-on for many years now, since my migration from Tomboy in 2010. I loved the fact that Zim used the plain text files rather than Tomboy's database-based approach at the time.

There are many interesting attributes that are both positives and negatives:


 * Mature codebase with a lot of users
 * Uses a markup language partially supported in in pandoc
 * Many, many features
 * Unique non-Markdown markup
 * GUI is very focused on the GNOME desktop
