A folder of text files.

Sounds stupid but I've yet to find a better tool.

I'll use Org-Mode if things get more complicated, but nothing beats plain text.

I mean org-mode is just easily readable plain text for the most part... Only has the potential to get ugly when you do odd or advanced stuff. The basic structure is just asterisk prefixed text.

Yes, this is me. I just open up sublime text, and within the second jot down whatever stuff I want. Nothing beats it.

I do use notes.app, evernote for complex writing stuff though.
