Agreed. While I find these applications interesting, I do not really see myself making much use of any of them. What I would like to see is a more generic kind of data/thing manager. Something customizable so I can eeasily tailor it to the kind of thing I want to keep track of.
For instance, if I want to keep track of wine, it should be easy to add varietal, quantity, etc. and reduce the count when I drink them.
If I am a lawyer and want to keep track of wills, court motions, etc, it should be easy to organize these by case or client and link documents, urls, etc.
My thought is something like the Eclipse development environment with easy to create plugins that could be shared by the users.
I suppose that is what OpenOffice Base is supposed to be, but I am thinking somethihng a bit simpler fro the end user.
