This actually looks pretty bitchin'. I like how the value-added data uses CoreData, but the base files and text that it's storing are just parked in the filesystem, like in iTunes. I'd been thinking I could use something like Yojimbo in my life, but I really, really didn't like the idea of locking my stuff up in some proprietary black box. I mean, I don't even know how long I'll be on the Mac platform, much less how long any given tool will be usable. I don't want to make any high-stakes gambles like that, you know? Give me a program I can bail from without punishment.

Open data formats, my friends. It's just like with drugs: before you start using any program, you should ask yourself what you're going to have to do when you decide to stop using it.
