I've tested a lot of those note taking app, Athens does not seem to be particularly better than the rest. My the most favorite app is https://www.zettlr.com https://www.zettlr.com. It has a simple concept that I really like: this is just markdown files viewer that has ability to: (1) edit (2) search(also by tags) and (3) link files. And that's all. Files are stored on a local disc in any folder structure someone wants, can be sync using whatever someone wants - Google Drive, Dropbox, Synology NAS, etc. There is zero vendor lock-in, as it works on plain MD files without any custom elements. This is one more Electron app, however in that case it is not especially annoying, there are some lags, but acceptable.
