Let's have a thread for note taking apps.
I came accross this one recently, for OS X:
Notational Velocity

It's like Spotlight search out of a custom folder. It can save your notes as separate texte files or one database.
Tried it but I feel limited by the editing capabilities.
MacVIM
For notes I'm using MacVim + FuzzyFinder plugin. Vim loads blazingly fast so load time is not an issue. I press CTRL-J and a spotlight-like search comes down (albeit in oldschool TRS-80 text mode
. I configured it so that typing "f:" goes to my general notes. "r:" goes to my RevTK code repository. For example I type f:git and enter to get my Git cheatsheet notes.
I store the notes in a local folder, but I have a backup script that zip it up and send it to DropBox.
For encryption I use a simple feature of Vim. When I load my passwords file it prompts for a key. The encryption is breakable of course, but then I don't work for the CIA. Meaning, it's good enough.
What app(s) do you use for note taking?
