If you accidentally exit the "page", it loses all your edits. And your edits are not applied until you click "done" which appears in the same place. There are plenty more examples of its design ineptitude, but I'll give 1 more: The way you edit the "pages" is to aim for a tiny little edit button on the very bottom of the sidebar. It's extremely annoying and very unintuitive. First, you can't go back to the ones below without closing the ones on top, they go away and if you're trying to reference previous "pages" you keep having to go back and forth, sometimes between multiple layers of pages. The most obvious example is the way it "pulls in" information from the left side of the window in a thing that I don't even know what to call, maybe it's a page? Anyway, these "pages" (for lack of a better word), stack and cover up everything below, and they are also temporary. But they fail in actually making it intuitive and useful.

Being able to link Contacts, Companies, Opportunities, Projects, Appointments - and capturing that connectivity in my CRM is really useful. What is particularly useful to me, is that it integrates so well with Mail - so many leads & communications come or go via email. For small business operators that is really useful. It provides a wide CRM feature set and integrates aspects of project and time management.
I have been using Daylite since v2 (now v6 and cloud based).
