I hear what you're saying, but really this is up to the end user to decide.
For some, the best "tool for thought" is something that tries to replace paper as directly as it can, because writing/drawing on paper is how some people think best.
So I don't think it's quite fair to say this is unrelated. Perhaps the feature sets are different, but the underlying goal of the end user might not be.
- adamwiggins 4y agoFair enough. Pen and paper are the ultimate tool for thought, so something that tries to translate them fairly directly into a digital environment also is. Guess my point here is that Muse is not an attempt to translate paper into the computer, other than some superficial elements like using a stylus to ink. IMO software and computers can go so much further than that.

- adamwiggins 4y agoIndeed. Victor's work is the gateway drug to tools-for-thought; it certainly was for me. Read at your own peril, the rabbit hole goes very deep :-)
