I don't really mind to take some time to learn the tool. If I have to, I will. But, in the old days, when bbdb was THE tool to have, there were such good hacks to use (I remember Sacha's ones). Nowadays, everyone is using org-mode (which is a great tool, for usre) for all and everything and thus, little by little, the more org-mode is growing, the less bbdb is used. I would really like having time to transpose some hacks from bbdbv2 to bbdbv3 but my skills and time lack :/ > BBDB v3 is a big upgrade over v2, even though documentation lags.
