Unfortunately, they all follow the same workflow. Hit the button, fill in tags (some assist with tags, some don't), type in description and then submit. Unfortunately, that's usually WAY more interaction than I want when I'm just saving something for later. I literally want the minimal effort of CTRL-D as the baseline. I don't want to be prompted for tags, summary or anything else, unless I want to. I'd be OK with something like SHIFT+CTRL-D to enter that stuff and just CTRL-D to have it "just taken care of". I don't want to highlight or "do" much of anything except the absolute minimum gesture to save it. I've used pretty much all of the plugins in existance.

It's very nice and doesn't feel like much work to use. It adds two buttons to your toolbar. You just click on the "tag" button and then "save" on the window that pops up. The window lets you quickly add tags and knows what tags you've used in the past which helps you to be consistent. It also has word completion. Yet another useful feature is that if you highlight some text on the page before clicking the tag button, that text will automatically go in to the notes area.
