In Traktor you can have the “comments” field but you can also have the “comments 2” field. Maybe use one for your regular notes and the other for genre info.
I find if I am specifically trying to record a mix I get a bit tense and often end up doing a worse job as I’m trying way too hard and I’m way too much of a perfectionist. The best way I find is to select a whole bunch of tracks you’re liking, make sure you know them pretty well and all you’re cue points, beat grids etc are spot on. Grab a few beers (not too many – just enough to take the edge off) and just spin these tracks over the next few days with the recorder on every time. Don’t try to make a demo on a specific time or date just enjoy the tunes. You’ll record something decent without thinking about it.
The two main choices are Serato Scratch Live or Traktor Scratch Pro. These are both excellent systems. Many people will argue about the brands but in the end the differences are basically negligible. There are a few other cheaper brands but I would probably avoid them as I can’t imagine they would be able to keep up with the big guys.

Advanced scratching and beat juggling. Yes you can do much of this on controllers with decent jogwheels but there are some things that are impossible with current technology. Vinyls (not timecode) do have a slightly fuller and punchier sound to them.
Dubstep won’t disappear but brostep and all the other commercial variants of it will. The mainstream is very fickle and will find something else to like. I feel like its already fading out.
Stinking of smoke when I walk out of the pub/bar/club is something I definitely do not miss. I remember when you would walk in to a pub, only stay for 30 seconds and already stink like smoke when you walk out.

I hope it makes sense – I know it does in my native language! 😉
This makes perfect sense. You’re set should be a journey.
