Same here. I've been using a 'notes' file since I first got into Unix back in the late 80s. I've kept with it ever since. I still haven't found something I like better. So portable, easily searchable and easy to manipulate with standard unix tools, etc.

Do you use a mobile device to edit? How? That always seems to be my sticking point with text based methods. It’s not easy to modify with my phone.

How is text not easy to modify on your phone? If anything this is a problem with phones being terrible computers and not text files. But I don't see how anything I said about how I do it on a desktop computer does not apply also to phones.

Not only that - how do you do structure? I'm especially thinking about trees here, which is how most concepts seem to be presented the best.

I store my text notes on Dropbox, using various subfolder layers. The android app allows both creation and editing of .txt files.

I self host Seafile. It has a simple and markdown friendly editor in its mobile app.
