I like Apple Notes, but collaborative editing is completely broken. I use it for sharing things like shopping lists with my wife. If I edit something while she's also editing, it gets mangled. Whatever Notes uses for collaborative syncing, it's not OT or CRDTs.
Notes is also quite terrible at many things:
* Embedded photos cannot be resized or placed next to text
* Table support is incredibly limited, to the point of being unusable except as a rudimentary grid
* No support for multiple columns
* No table of contents view
* No linking between notes (I think?)
* No way to change the font or change out the dreary yellow background colour
* No syntax highlighting of embedded code fragment
* No support for equations
* No support for shorthands (e.g. # to get a level 1 headline)
Notion, for all its flaws, has all of the above. And its collaborative editing is solid, if maybe not as good as Google Docs.
