TreeSheets (Cross-Platform Data Organizer) Now Open Source 29
Aardappel writes "TreeSheets has been available as freeware for Windows / Linux / OS X since 2008, but is now also Open Source (ZLIB license). TreeSheets is a cross between a spreadsheet (you can create grids) and an outliner (you can create grids inside grids) allowing you to create almost any structure to organize your data in."

It's open source. Port it yourself, bum.

As much as I hate to say it, Microsoft One Note is probably the best there is.
I ended up mainly using it as a tabbed graphics program. Since it remembers individual pen strokes, it's possible to copy a circuit diagram, remove the part the professor changed, and then draw the new changes.* Combine that with engineering paper grids, handwriting conversion, drag and drop picture embedding for annotations, and an intuitive navigation system for changing between courses and it's a necessity.
If you're talking Linux, then you're, sadly, out of luck. I haven't found anything that even comes close. One Note doesn't run in wine, and the license file is a pita to fix if something goes wrong in Windows. For all those faults, it's an amazing piece of software, and I can't find anything better. I'm currently trying to get it to work in an XP VM on Kubuntu.
*Note to professors: When you modify a circuit, give your students time to copy it from scratch, instead of immediately going on. I bought a tablet PC just for this reason.
PS: Ehh, who needs mod points.
