doogiePIM (PIM=Personal Information Manager) is designed around you so you start where you need to start. eg: If you're a coder and you need somewhere to store snippets of research and code whilst researching the web, then you would start with the Documents section whilst using the browser tabs.
If you're more into needing a way to organize the Events of the day, then you start at the Calendar.
doogiePIM isn't a tool to use for the sake of being there but a tool to use to assist with what you're a doing. Think of it as a Swiss Army Knife.
If you're already happy with your current set-up to manage your Gmail/Calendar then stick with that.
Don't try to fix something that isn't broken.

Alas, not soon. I want to take the next few months to add Android import and personal LAN use first. Then I'll think about porting. I am looking at Wine now though.

The cross-linking of data was the primary reason for creating doogiePIM. I've recently added the ability to hyperlink words and images to specific words and other images within the Documents and Noteboard. This is detailed on my dev blog entry here: https://bitespire.com/community/239-one-link-to-rule-them-al...
Major versions are roughly 18 months to two years apart with at least a 50% discount for the upgrade. I was thinking about a subscription basis but thinking from the point of view of a user, I wouldn't like that myself. I think this is a fair compromise - users get a good deal and I get a little something to replace my flux-capacitor every couple of years.

Trust is a huge thing and understandable. This is one reason why I don't trust Cloud storage with very important data. I would rather have my data on my local drive where only I can see it.
I like the idea of some open-source modules. I'll think about how I can do that without compromising security of existing data.

I'm playing around with Wine at the moment. doogiePIM does run but there are issues with the toolbars that I need to adjust so Wine will run smoother.
I haven't tried ReactOS. doogiePIM is 32 bit so I'll have a go. Thanks for the heads up.
MacOS is something else. That could take a longer time. :(
I love the TexNotes idea, many thanks. I'll get to work on writing an "About" page with some retro photos.
