Like regular expression support in the macros? :-)

Sure.

Sure. This is how it goes with most if not all feature rich
applications. It's unusual that any user will find each and every
offered feature useful. I certainly don't use all of TB!'s features.
However, you'll find that all features are being used by the
applications userbase, especially if the applications development is not
occurring in a vacuum which we both know is definitely not the case with
regards to TB!.

Agreed. More of their budget needs to go into that.

You can insert the current time through the right click context menu. In
that way, you can associate the date and time with text clips.

No. It's really a way of finding clips pasted in under a particular
date.
<rest snipped> ... I more or less agree with your sentiments on the
issue.
