I use plain A4 paper, a physical clipboards and lots of colors(more than 10) and mechanical pencil.If I need to digitalize them for archival, I use same the Fujitsu snapscan automatic feed scanner that I use to digitalize books. I can draw well, so using plain text feels so limited and constrained, rigid and not flexible enough. Linear text and having to use a special language (markup) feels so clunky compared to a real 2D connection. With paper you have eink support, A3 and A2 sizes if necessary and as big space as you need. It is extremely cheap, does not need batteries, mobile and normal people understand it(WYSIWYG) much better than if you have to explain them how to install a Markdown viewer or worse something like emacs modes. I am a lisper,fluent in emacs, could use it for notes and sometimes I do. I used Latex in University instead of Word. But it feels so wrong for me. When I talk with artists in general they share the feeling I have. They will not use the keyboard if they could but their hand. For them programmers are just autistic not understanding their world. Most programmers also can not understand artists. For them losing all the expression of handwriting and writing is just fine and for them the keyboard is sacred, and people should be trained in typing instead of computers doing the work for understanding human natural movements. Very few people understand both worlds.
