any technology choice can be used to be used to create busy work, for 
example I spent a lot of time at my old job working on a documentation 
system for a quality management system (ISO 9001). Did it matter almost no 
one ever used it? No because it just had to exist for auditing purposes. 
Originally this was all implemented in a Excel spreadsheet and it worked. 
Of course if the tool works, then why worry about which one you use?

I see these posts complaining about these various software tools and I just 
wonder how much we're trading complexity around for creating busy work by 
choosing new tools. There's an adage about SAAS startups somewhere out 
there related to glorified spreadsheets. 

See the classic XKCD comic - https://xkcd.com/1205/

The advantage of course with TiddlyWiki is everything is really just plain 
text. So you don't have to worry about navigating these complicated WYSIWYG 
apps that come up every now and then.
