It's been mentioned already but allow me to repeat it: plain text is your friend. Use some markdown if you like. Store everything in folders, using a complex or simple hierarchy, depending on your style. Backup and sync your files using one of the many providers, have it all encrypted (or not if you don't care).
This is your core note-taking system that will last longer than you.
On top of that use any app or editor you fancy. I'm on a Mac, I use iaWriter as my markdown editor (I love that you can drag and drop images into the files), houdahspot to search, Monosnap to take screenshots. And a few OSX tags. But I expect all this to change anytime.
I have around 15 years worth of notes and journalling entries and this setup has emerged as the clear winner. If you care at all about long-levity, I highly advise against proprietary data formats.
