    - GNU recutils - plain text database, avail. in Debian et al.
    http://www.gnu.org/software/recutils
    
    - http://www.nongnu.org/addressbook
    From the author of recutils but abandoned. Elisp, like lbdb but uses vcard3 
    format. Would be wonderful if somebody would update to [vx]card4.

I still use abook.el to manage my contacts.

But the emacs mode to edit recfiles (rec-mode) is being improved a lot
lately, and soon it will provide a much better user interface than
abook, only more general.  That is why I am not working on abook.el any
further.

You can try the latest recutils+rec-mode by cloning
git://git.savannah.gnu.org/recutils.git
