No, wait, I am an absolute fan of the Newton's Note app. And I agree
with you on its tremendous versatility. Together with Works and Alarm
Clock it's the app I use most of the time, and I can take notes on the
go when I need that -- for examples when I visit stores and jot down
bits of information of items I might be interested in. I have a good
memory, but of course I reserve top-priority things to it, like to-
dos ;) For temporary, not crucial infos, I note-take a lot. For my
job, I have to write down lots of infos I'll need later, like glossary
terms. When I'm on a translation project which requires collecting
information about a certain technical field and terminology
(electronics, IT security, audio/video editing, clothing and fashion
articles, photography, pharmaceutics, semiotics, etc.), the Notes app
is fantastic at helping me build small glossaries I can return to and
expand when I have to work on a project of the same field later.
As you say, for any sort of quick organisational outline, Notes is
exceptional. It all feels very natural and 'in-the-workflow', so to
speak.
Cheers
