Mac user. I use OneNote for 1) active reading. I use it to import articles so I can annotate them. I use skim for PDF files.
For linking & collecting I use DevonThink.
Summarization markdown files using iAWriter. It can handle adding pictures very well. I make heavy use of screenshots.
To collect ideas I use Scapple, it's a fantastic brainstorming tool.
I use Monosnap to take screenshots. I can drag and drop and picture into either tool I mentioned above.
The most important step, however, is the last one. Putting my own thoughts down into a final text (that I hopefully publish somewhere)
There is no single tool. You could use DevonThink for everything I guess.
Having said all this, be careful not to get hung up too much on the tools, they can be a mega distraction (productivity app p*rn). Use what works for your flow and try to produce your own thoughts, which is hard.
