Thanks for posting this list! I found it completely accidentally, but I find it very helpful. I and a colleague of mine happen to be working on a note-taking app, as a result of years of frustration with many of the apps you have listed. I'd be glad to use your feedback as a proof that we are going int he right direction. Perhaps, we could chat a bit more, as things in our development progress a little.
