I've been using Leo for quite a while now, and there's several things I 
like about it. But I've come to realize the main reason I initially wanted 
to use Leo, clones, is not really working for my use case. I mainly use Leo 
as a Personal Information Manager. My notes are organized in various 
sections -- but often I have items that belong to multiple sections, so I'd 
place them in both using clones. For example: a section with notes on 
Desktop software I use might have a subsection with Linux examples, but 
many of those are also relevant for under Webdevelopment - LAMP stack, so 
I'd put them there as well.

Now with over a dozen top-level sections and many more subsections and 
subsubsections for each, switching between different sections becomes 
unwieldy. The nav or search functionality works fine when you initially 
need to find the (sub)section you want to work in, but when you're 
switching between different sections/contexts a lot, the overhead is way 
too large (number of operations/keystrokes as well as mentally). Switching 
between open tabs works much better in this regard.

So perhaps I should just make each top-level section a separate Leo file 
and switch between those? But as far as I can tell, there is no good way to 
share nodes between files (and keep them in sync, including their subtrees 
if applicable).

Anyone organizing data like this, or have suggestions?
