“The drawback with using most note-taking applications on any
platform is that they are limited in the type of data you can put

deficiencies, lack the tree structure that makes storing and
viewing notes quick and useful.

“For typical daily office and personal note-taking tasks, using
a database application is like using a fumigating spray to kill a

Linux distros that use the GNOME desktop.”
