I'm in the process of switching from vimwiki to the built in Notes.app. The big change is switching from links for organization to folders. In vimwiki, I did a lot of scripting to manage/edit plaintext notes. Notes.app on the desktop has pretty good applescript support, so scripting is still an option although it is more cumbersome than operating on a directory of text files. However, it is very nice to have an iOS app designed to view/edit my notes. I'm also really enjoying using the apple pencil to take notes and having them integrated into my computer text notes. Notes has a lot of integrations throughout iOS and macOS so that has been nice too.

Honestly, if I could just make links easily between notes I'd be pretty set with Notes.app except for the fact that code is kind of hard to write in it. i.e. snippets, etc. I tried using it because you're right, it's one of the better experiences on iOS/macOS since it's been designed to be well done from the ground up. I should probably try the new iOS 11 one before completely writing it off because I heard on Gruber's latest podcast that the app has gotten way better now with the big iPad productivity push.
