I always felt that Evernote was a confusing mess line OneNote I would try to use it every couple years thinking it would different only to give up a little later and go back to Notepad++

Wait what? One is a note taking app. The other is a text editor...

Did I miss the implied /s?

Notepad++ works great for taking notes. Besides, it's open 24/7 anyway so dedicating a tab or two (or dozen lol) feels pretty natural.

I only use Joplin if I have some "very structured" notes about some topic, and while that is also open 24/7 np++ is always my go-to because "it just works" without having to care at all about formatting nor anything fancy.
