Why use digital formats offline:

  - editing and reordering text
  - attachments
  - aesthetics
  - accessibility 
  - hassle/weight optimisation
Aesthetics includes theming, and also not everyone has good handwriting.

Accessibility, because not everyone is able to hand-write in the first place.

Weight optimisation, because if a laptop is non-negotiable, going digital means one less thing to remember about and carry with you.

I have multiple physical notebooks/calendars and a digital commonplace book, they all have their place.
