People saying "this can be done with X" and listing the various combinations of tools miss the most important thing: I, the user, couldn't care less about spending time to collect and configure these separate, and often conflicting, tools into a cohesive whole. I, the user, will always reach for something that gives me a cohesive whole out of the box. (Note: though I like the idea of Potluck, I'll stick to regular Notes.app for now)
