You will get wildly varying views here, note taking is hugely subjective. As for myself, I like note taking apps that provide a frontend to a file system, that gets then exposed either directly (editing the contents of an actual folder on a device) or indirectly (syncing with a cloud storage service, preferably third party). While this has some inherent limitations (like on file names and possible hardship to add per-note features) it has also great possibilities for integrations with other workflows and tools of the user.
