My experiences with it mirror yours. It looked interesting and there
were some ideas which sounded interesting, but when I came to use it, I
found little, if anything, which didn't have a close equivalence in org
mode and many things in org mode which it did not have. 

In the end, it came down to asking myself do I really want yet another
information management framework in my life and the answer was no. I do
vaguely recall (it was a while ago) there were some ideas I thought
would be good to add to org mode though. Unfortunately, I cannot recall
the details now.
