Thank you for your answers, @PaulWalters, @eastgate, @Desalegn.
I think this sort of discussion is needed in order to help ourselves to really understand more and better what one can only do in Tinderbox. For me it is not so much about drafting dissertations and the like. Tools like Atlas Ti oder MAXQDA or Tinderbox are interesting especially when it comes to support or even jump-start the thinking-process.
And I think I learned that even Atlas Ti as the time being has rather powerful tools for visualising ideas.
So, if I understand it correctly: Being able to assign unlimited attributes to notes as the unique feature of Tinderbox … Hmm … well, that really wouldn’t convince me and win me over. Especially when you think that what in QDA-Contexts is referred to as Coding, that is: assign Tags to every word, sentence or paragraph isn’t as easily done in Tinderbox as it seems to be in Atlas Ti or MaxQDA.
So, I’d really love to know what @eastgate did present on a computer-assisted QDA conference and how the discussion about the different tools and approaches turn out. The sheer mentioning of the respective conference contribution certainly pushes but definitely does not satisfy my appetite for knowledge and insight.
