MS OneNote as it features a nice integration with MS Outlook. You can create tasks directly in OneNote and have them automatically show up in Outlook. As my employer uses the enterprise version, I am not worried about the Cloud.

#142I have found org mode to be really useful for free form note taking. Granted, the emacs factor may scare away some users, but I think org mode is worth it even if you are using emacs solely because of it.
Org mode has configurable todos(todo, next, scheduled, deadline). You can attach tags to notes, have nested todos with percentage completion tracking, can write code snippets in any language with full syntax completion, log time for different tasks, and this is just all I can think on the top of my head.
And to top it all, it is just plain text. You can store org documents in dropbox and access them just like your other dropbox documents.

#143plain text files and your favorite editor, whatever that is. things that should be encrypted are either gpg encrytped or put in my password manager. Bonus if you format your plain text with markdown or asciidoc or whatever your fav. plain text markup language is. Don't make it more complicated than it needs to be. Put it in a VCS for super double bonus points :) me personally: Vim, asciidoc and in a fossil repo.
> plain text files and your favorite editor I tried this solution as well, but I missed one core feature of Evernote, that you can search by tags or keywords, and it instantly list all related notes.
... grep?

#146Don’t take notes. If you can’t remember it, it’s not worth knowing. If there is something you want to remember but you can’t, simplify it down to the basics until you can explain it back to yourself in such concepts that you would never forget.

#147Dropbox Paper has worked quite well for me.
I have been using Dropbox Paper for about two years now. I highly recommend it for cloud note taking app, because:
(1) Can easily collaborate and share (2) Markdown syntax with LaTeX support (3) Embed images, youtube, PDF and lots of other stuff straight into the note. (4) Visually clean and elegant
The downsides are:
(a) No offline editing (only limited support on mobile) (b) Dependent on Dropbox Inc

#150I'm using OneNote for sketches and handwritten notes (Tablet). For everything else, I use a private DokuWiki instance. I like having a web-based, but private, note-taking solution that supports media files and hyperlinks.
