Onenote. For me the killer feature is the ability to put text wherever i want, and move it later, i just click where i want to write in the page and type, it really changed the way i take note, it feel more natural and more close to the "paper experience". i tried opensource solution, but all the one i found allow only for "linear" note taking, witch is ok if i need to take a quick note, but if i need to "prototype" or brainstorm something i feel them to restrictive. where onenote is not avaible or overkill i simply use markdown files, with git for versioning and Syncthing for syncronization. edit: correct some typo

As a college student I hooked up a microphone (A tiny shotgun mic) and the audio would sync with my notes. It was simply amazing. As a librarian I bought OneNote for the whole student body and taught every freshman for 1.5 hours on how to use it. Less then 2 dozen students said at the end of the year they used it. I no longer purchased OneNote. People are strange.

  i also used a lot at school, for me it was amazing. the only pain point for me was drawing diagram, for me graphwiz is the only sane way to do it

  And it indexes audio, too. Comes in handy reviewing hour+ meetings where we can't remember exactly what was said.

Really like OneNote too. One geature it really lacks though is real tagging (#hashtags). Ideally keep the current system (ctrl+1 to cycle through checkbox, checked checkbox and nothing is nice) but add tags on top. (If they have added tags and I haven't realized then I'll be happy to know.)

  I used to use ``*tag for my tags and just used search worked good
