Adobe Illustrator and other infinite canvas platforms provide a compelling case against this. Forcing yourself to draw pictures of what you’re taking notes on especially in studying software systems where the ideas are abstract and not necessarily visual is really useful. The added ability to nest concepts inside other concepts like Russian doll note taking is also pretty interesting. You can also screen clip whole articles and paste them next to your drawings and notes. Infinite canvas note taking is probably the most useful thing I’ve ever discovered in terms of learning technical systems.
