I've been using Zim every day for about 7 years. At work and at home. The only comparable alternative for me was TheBrain, but 1st they dropped Linux support, and 2nd they use database to save the work.


For me the killer features of Zim are: plain text, LaTeX support, global search through notebook (I'd like to have also a global search through all notebooks option).


The plain text format feature helps me to use Git in a kind of abusive way to share my notebooks across my computers. I have a bare repository (server-side) to which I push the committed changes and from which I pull them.

How is that for a catchy title!?

I've been using Zim almost every day (Mo-Fr) for about 5yrs.
I recently wondered if there was anything comparable out there and had a look, but couldn't find anything that I preferred.

A couple of candidates that are close are CherryTree and Tiddlywiki. 
I gave TiddlyWiki about 30min of my time, but found it very non-intuitive and gave up.  I felt it was something for web developers! 

Confluence looks OK if you don't mind the big java footprint, but it's designed for workgroups.

What have you used before moving to Zim Wiki?
Ever tested other products since?
