Ask HN: What note taking app/software do you use?

I have tried options like Evernote(premium) and OneNote but neither felt essential enough to replace classical pen and paper, so I'd like to know what you guys think is the best and why.

I still miss notepad.cc (A web·based, password protectable notepad — RIP), so for now all I use is just one (local) single iA Writer document, containing everything I want to note/remember. (I also tried keep.google.com, but this is still too bloated for my taste.) Maybe you'll like milanote.com? (Mood boards meet note pads.)

Edit/Addendum: And nothing shall ever replace Pen & Paper. ;)

Replacing pen and paper is hard but I use Google Keep quite a bit for saving links and small notes. I like Keep because:

* No need to create accounts on multiple websites

* Accessible from web and phone

* Clean interface

* Allows checklists, drawings, images and has OCR
