My usual reply is that I am compelled to write notes in email, on wikis, in docstrings, etc. This is because I work for various companies at different points in time, work on open source projects, serve on a standards committee, etc. All of these groups have different tools.
For a while I used OneNote heavily even though it is by no means optimized for writing technical notes (formatting source code is much harder than it should be; stupid Microsoft killed OneNote by obnoxious marketing methods such as stuffing multiple links for it on the task bar, defaulting by sending anything you print into OneNote, etc. They never thought that devs are an important market.)
For me the good thing about OneNote is that the full-text search actually works. Really, I'm not kidding. I have no trouble finding things in OneNote and that is worth a lot.
For some reason everybody wants to write a new notetaking application, but the problem is the proliferation of applications. One team is into Slack, another uses Discord, so I have about 10 electron apps that are all almost exactly the same size.
The answer is something that can go into all of these spaces and make things findable first, and portable second.
Nobody seems to want to do it, but everybody seems to want to learn Electron.
