I found that the most annoying thing about the Paizo PRD was that everything was sorted by book, so you had to go looking across several books to find the feat or rule that you were interested in.

d20pfsrd got rid of the books and put all the relevant information from all sources about a particular subject into the same area. Much easier - it is useful to have a reference within the rule to where it came from (in case you need to quote it to somebody else), which in RW can be done by assigning a tag to an individual snippet.
