How are some of those other apps too slow? Stream of consciousness definitely doesn't need to be recorded, you can polish the thought a bit before recording something. Even then I imagine a lot of my notes are junk I won't ever look at again. It was just useful at the time to scribble stuff down to help my own thought process, doesn't all have to go on record. OP seems to suffer a bit from "note anxiety". Further, some minimal command line app would truly suck for me. What if I want to draw a diagram/sketch, express something that doesn't neatly fit into some text? Maths symbols? I don't want to type stuff. Embedding links? References? Screenshots? An ipad pro has been a boon, I use notability or apple notes and just organise by date. What this is lacking is a good query feature. The end game would be a clean infinite paper interface but still maybe something that I can go query on my desktop later. It should be able to at least parse maths symbols and convert it to sensible text. Diagrams it could stick into a picture.
