Do you still write notes with pen and paper? (programming.dev)

With so much note taking apps nowadays, I can't understand why does anyone still write notes with pen and paper. You need to bring the notepad, book or that paper to retrieve that information, and most of the time you don't have it in hand. While my phone almost always reachable and you carry when you go out. For those still like to do handwriting, there's many app does that and they can even convert it to text notes.

So, if you still write notes with pen and paper, why?

Also, notes taken with pen and paper never run out of battery, or need to be charged. They're powered by basically any light source.

On the flip side, they don't come up in a mass search. I have so many notes. If it doesn't come up in a search it mine as well not exist, I'll never find it.
