Moleskines seem incredibly overrated to me. No organizational assistance, no features (that's fine) and not even high grade paper/materials.

Rhodia/Leuchtturm1917/Clairefontaine at least feel/look awesome to write on with minimal bleed.

Edit: Just saw there are like three comments already pointing all of this out... But yeah, the minimalism isn't the problem. Minimalism without quality is an odd success story though.

Quality is there. Price might be a bit inflated, but that's marketing. While I agree that there are many similar options for a book-type common notebook, I still have to find a reporter notebook that beats the overall quality of Moleskine's Reporter.
