- dirkc 4y agoThe reason I really like text for a lot of note taking is that I find it a lot easier to use compared to a word processor. Word processors tries to be smart about formatting, but never fails to annoy me. I still struggle editing the text of a link regularly. But spreadsheets applications tend to be more useful than annoying. Doing tables with formulas in text docs are possible, but it seems more annoying than useful. In some instances I enjoy using jupyter notebooks.
