I was a big advocate of OneNote until I got burned just last week. Windows Phone 8 devices suddenly stopped syncing. The outage lasted over a week. Today it seems to be back, but 10 days without the ability to view my notes was enough to make me think twice about using it It actually prompted me to start building a simple note / list app for WP8 to replace it (not to compete - I just like building things for myself). I got a working beta before OneNote started syncing again, and I'm going to press on. It's super simple - just opens text files from Dropbox, either as lists (like todo.txt on android) or notes (simple textbox). If I ever switch phones all my notes are in plain text / md files.
