I use Onenote because it comes with Office on our work computers, but it's still an annoying mess. The notes are in some kind of weird text box inside the page, which can scroll in weird directions? I don't understand it, maybe it's user error, but it feels clunky. Sometimes I open Onenote after rebooting and it just decides to not find my Notebook? Also, how come if I type a title and then hit the down arrow (and again, because the first time it goes to date), I'm now on the second line of the text area, and have to press up to get to the first line? I have no idea why this bothers me so much, but these little weird behaviors drive me insane.

I don't understand it It's meant for drawing and rich media, so you can type notes and draw/paint in the same document. And for that particular use case, if you own a Surface Pen or such it is kind of nice to use. But I suspect the majority of people in OneNote just need to type out notes. I agree with you, and I wish OneNote had some concept of a "typed-only" note, that did away with the weird textboxing-layouting stuff.
