Is newer one note not as good? It always bugs me to upgrade but usually the newer versions of everything are worse for the user.
You cannot use your own file server anymore so it is unusable by some organizations. Also it feels more like a toy.

org mode in emacs is pretty great and there are lots of org editor apps for smartphones if you don't want to run full emacs. Personally I sync my org files along with my calendar using git and that works well enough for me.
I’ve had a lot of trouble finding org editors for my phone. Org web like it might be the favourite right now but I don’t really want to host it myself. Can I ask what format you use for calendar files too? That’s another one I have a bit of trouble with! Everything seems to want to use the Google APIs for everything.
Org web looks neat, though I really hope there's some theming options.
Cannot see the clickable actions on the yellow background.
Edit: also from the looks of it Org-Web only needs a static host and some keys set up, as the gDrive/dropbox is done via client SDKs?

#55It’s a pity OSS doesn’t have the resources to vet the names. In Russian this name doesn’t sound good no matter how you pronounce.
I guess no Russians listen to Janis Joplin either then. "You can please some people some of the time. You can't please all the people all the time."

#56One missing feature that has been requested many times, and largely ignored, is linking between pages quickly like in Confluence or a wiki. The biggest value in taking notes for me, comes from the ability to link multiple notes together freely and quickly.

#58I could use the opposite : A TODO-app which has no synchronization capabilities so I don't need to worry about leakage of private data. Ideally it would use a very simple plaintext file format for its database so it is future proof, e.g. http://todotxt.org/ The TODO.txt format seems very nice but the Android apps listed on that site are either not fully developed or unmaintained, and one even looks like it's not open…
I believe Markor[0] might satisfy your needs of having a TODO.txt editor that has no sync capabilities. I have to use in combination with Dropsync[1] to sync my notes. Admittedly, I only use Markor for my plaintext notes and rely on Todo.txt[2] for my TODO.txt needs, which is still maintained and has syncing builtin.

#59I used it for quite some time, but a couple of things have made me stop using it as of late. Firstly, its just not very nice to look at, especially compared to something like Notion. I want something thats a joy to work in. Secondly, the mobile experience kinda sucks. I used to use it to maintain a list of when i've taken my medication. Upon opening the app, i first have to wait to make sure my notes are fully synced…
I switched to Obisidan, which also stores all its notes locally in Markdown, offers all the features you want and a robust plugin ecosystem, has a (beta) mobile client, and is pretty.
The one thing it doesn't have that I really want is "WYSIWYG" markdown editing, a la Typora (but it's on the roadmap!).
