Google Keep user here as well. It has few things that makes it perfectly fit into what I need:

- simple to do lists

- create notes with the phone's camera (I usually do this when taking a photo of a whiteboard)

- audio recording and transcribing: I can just say my note and Google Keep will make a text out of it with an attached audio recording

- sharing: this makes my life sooo much easier. I have one note taking app I can use for business, for sharing shopping lists with my wife, house chores with my kids, etc. When Google Keep came out first it was way too simple, but I can hardly imagine my life these days without it.

I'd recommend ZimWiki http://www.zim-wiki.org/ - a desktop app. Keep can't keep up with lots of notes :-)

ZW is speedy, portable, and extendable.

I actually use ZimWiki as well, but more as a personal blog for technical stuff to refer back to, not as a day-to-day notes app.
