A lot of people seem to be taking this interview in a negative way. I find it nice an humorous, lacking in "real" content - but then most of these articles are lacking in content. Much as a I love the "Uses This" type series, it's basically "geek gossip magazine" - how much does it really tell you to hear that another person is using a MacBook with Sonos speakers and TextMate?
One nugget from the interview is the "Todo" questions, which makes me really think that Phil knows his product well:
"Q: What's your favorite to-do list manager?
A: You know, I don't actually have one. I use Evernote, which isn't particularly great for to-dos yet. Yet."
I've started moving more and more of my thing into Evernote, and I think the biggest thing it does wrong is: it doesn't do any one thing very well. One of those One Things I'd love it to get right is TODO management, and Phil is here hinting that it's in the works.
All in all, I came out of this interview with a smile on my face, and some more hope for the future of a product that I use a lot, and really really want to love.
