What's your favorite note-taking application?

Currently I'm using Joplin with Syncthing-backed file system synchronization. I'm pretty pleased with it, as I do like tagging- and Markdown-based systems.

I plan to upgrade to server-based synchronization, but before doing that, however, I wanted to see what other people are using.

Edit: So far I see a slight favor towards Joplin and Logseq, but I totally didn't expect (and appreciate) getting so many different answers.

A nice grid lined notebook and a mechanical pencil is still my favorite.

I like to use Google Keep for certain things, but I have a hard time explaining how those things are better for Google Keep.

I'm looking at giving Neorg a try.

If only my default font wasn't so bad that it causes data loss.

Joplin. Obsidian is not open source, doesn’t have native self hosting and it gets complicated. Joplin is very simple and just works. Although, it stores the notes in a hashed database, so you can’t edit raw files without Joplin client

Problem with Joplin: The raw files are randomly named so you can't easily find a specific note

That's not even the bigger problem. I found the desktop ui very clunky. There were too many papercuts for me to keep using joplin. However, its TUI and mobile app are excellent.
