Honestly, markdown files + git for history/version control is all you really need for effective note taking. Use whatever editor you like, and feel free to use some paid service for backups/versioning/etc if you feel git is too complicated, but IMO there's nothing that beats the simplicity and enduring nature of plain text files combined with the power of markdown and git/version control. I also think paper notes are vastly underrated by many people in Tech. I keep a notebook and write stuff down all day long in addition to keeping more detailed notes digitally.
