At work, our only note-taking app is (sound of herald trumpets) OneNote. A mix of notes and to-do items is a handy thing.
Unfortunately, OneNote has never been able to reliably find unchecked to-do tags. It's a widely reported thing that Microsoft just gets away with, much as it did with its kite eating tree of a Word feature, master document mode.
Rebellion is my specialty, fortunately. I can't install software on my company system but I can copy text files to Linux hosts.
And so, for the first time in my professional life, I installed vimwiki, which gives vim wiki powers.
Vim, for those who have a life beyond dot matrix printers, is a text editor. The text editor, some would say. Nine out of ten geeks who speak grep agree, vim is the undisputed king of editors. Except for emacs, of course.
I'm surprised how much I like vimwiki. It's fast. I can edit files outside the wiki if I want. It's ugly, by post-1970 standards, but it's very effective. My workday life is running fine in a text-only ssh session and vimwiki.
