Other operating systems don't posses the easiness of the tagging system build in OS X. The issue we see in the OS X tags is that they are locked to a particular operating system. Ones you copy/move your files on some other other platforms or the cloud you are mostly loosing the tagging information. BTW, TagSpaces is not only for tagging, we use it for example as a Evernote alternative.

So, given that my question was:

> for someone using only macOS/Mac OS X, how is this an improvement over the built-in file tagging?

The answer is "it doesn't"?

I'm not saying it doesn't have a market, I'm trying to understand if it offers anything above the OS included functionality for someone purely in the Apple ecosystem.
