In short, I don't go it a day without Dossier. I use it for keeping a journal for work, noting what I've done each day for each project I'm working on. I wanted something for which I could view or search everything cronologically, or else by project. Also, the ability to paste in pictures/plots/etc. was essential. Dossier more than fills this role, with additional features like smart folders which are also helpful. Since I'm writing every day and often pasting pictures, there's quite a lot of stored information. Despite this, Dossier launches quickly and without problems.
Support is also exceptional! A couple strange behaviors slipped in with the upgrade from 1.? to 2.0, which I emailed the developer about. Each time, the email was acknowledged almost immediately and fixed within a couple hours. Version 2.0.1 contains all the fixes, and I haven't been able to find anything wrong with it.
Truly great stuff, I recommend it highly!

I'm not sure why this p.i.m does not get more attention. It's a stable, mature (for a 1.x release) and full-featured journal, database and publishing platform that can change the way you work.
After trying out many for months (including macjournal and devonthink and Current/Flow, probably the three apps in the same class with this one) I went with Dossier because its streamlined/without bloat, a great text editor, and easily stores and publishes documents.
All of them offer something slightly different, but as a writer who just wanted to get my work done in an elegant, straightforward and organized way I found Dossier does everything I need (write text in a pleasing, simple window; publish to the web; publish to Mail; organize all my documents and info; and export into multiple formats--which could be better and trust will be in the upcoming 2.0 release).
In short, this is a great app that deserves a wider user base and I recommend you try it. The developer is committed and responds quickly.

And the best of the best, is just how responsive is its author Mr. R. Minnerick. I have tried my best to be *censored*y and complain about some missing feature - but he just writes back in a day or two and says the feature will be part of the next update -- and then alerts me about a week later that it is available in a downloadable update!!
