Hey Brett, thanks for writing this up, you always have amazing tools to
share.

One thing I\'m struggling with a bit is developing a tagging workflow,
and a big part of the reason is that I use nvALT pretty heavily, but it
doesn\'t have a modern tag integration. I asked you about this maybe a
year or so ago and you mentioned you were thinking heavily about a
post-Mavericks workflow vis-a-vis nvALT. Anyway, I don\'t want to jump
to conclusions, but I noticed you still mentioned nvALT in part 1 of
this article, and curious how you make it play with native OS X tagging?

I\'m currently running a private build that does use Finder tags, but
the logistics of making a painless switch for all users ended up being
more trouble than it was worth, given we\'re working on a commercial
replacement for it that needed the coding hours.

Are there any posts/podcasts about the commercial replacement?
