Language specific IDEs are less because Language Server Protocol solved this real problem. We converged on a good enough solution.

But unlike IDEs and programming language support, note-taking is inherently personal. There is no one-size fits all. I am more disorganized than otherwise, but I prefer separate tools for separate occasions. I like pen and paper for quick jot-downs and napkin math, notepad++/Sublime for quick copy-pastes, OneNote for $DAYJOB and org-mode for long term knowledge base and blogging.

I am sure real people exist who prefer one over the other on more than one occasion.
