I use Joplin and I am playing with emacs orgmode. So far Joplin has been a lot better at finding stuff I forgot about but knew a few letters that would be there (like ssh). I have many 1000s of notes; from emacs to notepad to ms docs to onenote to I forgot to Evernote to vim to notion to Joplin. And maybe back to the emacs. I use and have used it daily ; it makes me think clearer to write things down before implementing or discussing. I basically write down my mind voice to remember it verbatim.
