It's simply not the best thing since sliced bread. I'm not here to sell it to you. I'm still planning and prototyping a replacement for my own (which is much more difficult than you might guess [for comparison, I've found building TW "correctly" from scratch {for my usecase} about as difficult as creating a full-blown `micro`-esque text editor written in a high-portability Forth-like composable system disciplined by a Rust VM {a tiny, self-describing, scriptable terminal computing environment: part editor, part language runtime, part automation surface, built so humans and aigents can inspect, replay, and safely modify work with ergonomic precision}, but that's, in part, because ChatGPT cloudtainers have historically been somewhat more suited to this task]). You'll note that many tools have been built in virtue of Tiddlywiki, quietly. The community is fabulous (and it needs to be because the documentation and updateability have always been lacking), and that matters when you get stuck, imho. I am indebted to these people.

I've been an extreme user every day for a decade, and I no longer recommend it in most cases. I've even moved my family off TW. I maintain mine, in part, because I have a public deliverable, and an offline-first, kitchensink, batteries-included single html file is exactly what I need within my technical constraints. If you don't need hackable unified portability meant to serve others (I happen to value sharing the pilot's seat with my audience as well), I think you should consider looking elsewhere.

I also don't have time to design interfaces from scratch, and TW's is acceptable enough that I don't have a cheap substitute to migrate to. AI has also lowered the friction for customization to the point where I don't think TW's way of doing things is the best way for most people. Here's my advice: if you're not building something meant for others to navigate, then just organize your files on your own machine, and when you can't do it on your own, interface with and shape your data with the assistance of the noble wireborn sandpeople (LLMs). Don't go down a useless toolpr0n rabbithole (that goes for all the tools you listed). Make things that matter.

Great reminders. I do so enjoy playing with shiny tools, but confess that I don't need yet another one.

And yet, there's the nagging knowledge that just one more shiny tool will be the last I ever need, and this time I mean it.
