    Tim. You're a pessimistic bastard but I love you. And I love Omniref. (When I remember to use it.) Maybe consider a sublime text plugin and complete sublime's inevitable march toward IDE-dom?

    We use Capsule + Streak. We're big fans of streak, but it's a baby CRM perfect for pipelines... we use Capsule to manage all of the other stuff. (Who talked to whom, etc.)
