There's also Simplenote. I can recommend it. It's pretty cool, it's just plaintext, and it just works. I migrated to it after I got sick of the formatting in Evernote getting screwed up and sync issues causing data loss.

Simplenote is not open source.

  But the API is entirely open, so you can use an open source client.

    But for any meaningful kind of data freedom you have to own the server, not just the client.

      The server is so simple it would be remarkably easy to reproduce based simply on the API spec.

* You can't really compare a simple plaintext note taker to Evernote. * The Simplenote sync is very unreliable. I lost content numerous times. For plaintext notes I now use nvALT on OSX and Writeily Pro on Android with files being synced via Bittorrent Sync.
