Yes I use Apple Notes for actual notes. It works well enough for everything I do with the only draw back (to me) being it isn't available as raw text. Although copy/paste works just fine so not a huge deal tbh.

For anything that I find lives in Apple Notes a bit too long I move it over to plain text and use iA Writer. I try to keep anything in Apple Notes as short term notes. Anything I plan to keep around as more (small) documentation I switch over to iA.

A few years ago I just got tired of trying out all these different notes apps. I figured I have iA Writer and Apple Notes and that works well enough so gave up trying every new note taking app that came out and haven't had any regrets.

Recently I tried out Notion and god it was awful. I felt I spent longer arranging things in Notion than I did working on things.

These days I find a more limited and simpler solution is better for me. I switched back to Things 3 a year or so ago as I found Todoist overwhelming after a while. Sure Things is more limited but I like that. It is basically a post-it note and I realised that is all I needed.
