My main issue with Notes right now is that somewhere along the way we became OK with software having no Undo at all, combined with the power to instantly sync your typo everywhere so it is truly gone forever, combined with UI that basically encourages accidents. So if I am perfect when typing with a tiny virtual keyboard, nothing goes wrong; otherwise, I could lose things in ways that are interpreted by the software as me choosing to lose them, which is bogus.

It actually does have undo, something I know about from it frequently detecting waving my phone around as an attempt to undo.
Use three fingers swipe gesture from left to right. That’s also an undo action in Notes. From right to left is redo.
Apple Notes supports undo which reverts all changes you've made in the current editing session for a note. A note can also be undeleted for 30 days.
Isn't their sync system CRDT-based? Would be really weird to not have undo with it.
