I really want to get into these types of apps as I think it will greatly improve my work speed. But I am always afraid of becoming over-dependent on these tools. I commonly change environments in my work, so I often have to adapt to new systems. If these tools are somehow portable via usb/internet sync, I think I would start to use them more.
