I've been using Circus Ponies Notebook since 2004, so a great fan overall.
One trouble with the Spotlight support is that when you search for an item in Spotlight, it finds the appropriate notebook, but then when you launch that item, it just takes you into that notebook in its last saved state. Now to find the item, you have to go look at the index for the same thing.
Since I don't have everything in Notebook, I often need to go through this two step procedure.
Turns out OmniOutliner Pro has much of the same functionality and preloads and finds the search terms from a spotlight search.
Other differences are in feel, namely, that while Notebook has a cute notebooky feel, the UI in OOP seems more polished to me, as though more thought has been given to avoiding duplicate functionality in multiple ways, thus making it easier to remember how something was done.

I purchased v2.1 of CP Notebook 2.1 on December 24 2007 and at that time there was a message from Circus Ponies stating that there would be a free upgrade to version 3 if you purchased 2.1. Now the developer is saying that v2.1 must have been purchased by Jan 1 2008 (7 days later) in order to get the free 3.0 upgrade. You try to support these company's by buying their software but you really can not trust what they say and do about upgrades, they either want to much money or don't follow through with their upgrade promises. Version 2.1 is not that stable and I'm sure v3 has corrected these problems, but in no way am I going to pay anymore money to CP's.

- does not honor upgrade promise
Now -- if this is a bug, the only possible cause could be because I keep my "main" notebook on my desktop in the "local" copy of iDisk that syncs via MobileMe. Again, though, I have been doing fine like this for months now -- this is a new surprise with the 3.0 update.
