Macjournal, how I love you.
For the last five years I’ve used Macjournal in one edition or the other (professional, standard, and the original free edition) from Mariner Software. I just dropped $34 on the new version, primarily because of it’s auto-encryption feature.

It’s become my repository for all things of interest at work, meetings, and conferences. When I left my last job, I was able to hand them a single set of files containing over three years of notes (the export feature can format for HTML, Livejournal, a number of blogging sites, an text). I loathe paper. You can’t search it, copy it, or easily distribute data that has been imprinted on pressed vegetation, although it’s role as a prevailing information technology for centuries has proven it’s worthiness.
I’ve experimented with EverNote, but it just can’t do what MacJournal can do. One of my favorite features is the cut-and-paste of web sites (complete with graphics and all layout). If you read Safari (O’Reilly’s online library) like I do, this lets you cut and paste entire pages of books and hang onto them.
The key feature in Macjournal 5 for me is automatic encryption and locking of journals. You can set specific journal folders to encrypt and lock after a period of inactivity, which makes for an ideal password and sensitive information store.

I am trying to determine the difference between Evernote and Macjournal - which one would be best for me, etc.
From the looks of Enote's latest release, it now can do audio and video.
Looks like the only thing it wont do is publish to blogs directly. (and the other things you mentioned - the whoel web page feature is great.)
I guess I just am wondering if you could expand on why you like it as much as you do.

MacJournal handles that, and the autoencrypt feature really helps out with keeping my data secure.
