In my world, KIT beats (at least the pre-taggable) Yojimbo hands down and I'd love to see more people use it. Among other things, you can drop images into KIT and they get handled correctly, but even cooler is the ability to drop ANYTHING on KIT, which copies and and drops it into your library. I use it to drop zips or dmgs of things I want to check out at some point in the future, thereby clearing my dl folder. You can of course add keywords in the info box which, while not tagging, helps.

What I could do is use some sqlite tools to extract the contents, but I'd rather trust Yojimbo's export tools. On the other hand, I can always have a weekly reminder to do some manual backup. I'm not sure how to proceed yet. (And to top all this, I'm really tempted by 43Folders' discount for Devon apps ...)

This is one of the things that puts <a href="http://www.hawkwings.net/2006/10/16/eaglefiler-tag-smart-open-format-pim/" rel="nofollow">EagleFiler</a> ahead. Still, I am starting to love Yojimbo enough to forgive it a few foibles (rather like my feeling for Mail.app). Incremental backups are out I think due to the monolithic database.

The only thing that I dislike from Yojimbo is that I could not find a simple way to do incremental backups of its data. But now I'm torn ;-) Very interesting, this might pull Yojimbo a bit ahead from KIT for me (I own both and I’m using KIT right now).
