I have used text files, Emacs Org Mode and Evernote. Also, tried notion at one point. The closest that I have come to notes nirvana is Emacs but my left pinky started hurting and I stopped using it. These days I use a versioned directory of markdown files which I edit using visual studio. I just organize them in standard file folders. It has been working well for the past 4 years or so. I should mention that I also have Trello for any todos come out of those notes.
