I wrote Noogle Goatbook (http://www.nooglegoatbook.com/) 2 years ago when they first announced Google Notebook was being discontinued. It's still a little rough but I might continue working on it and/or stick it on github if people are interested.

That is the most awesome product name ever. And it looks quite good too.
It's a shame it's hosted on Google App Engine though. Given their new pricing changes, you might have to move it. Maybe you should launch Noogle Gap Engine...

Relatedly, the gmail tasks have a little-known fullscreen UI: https://mail.google.com/tasks/canvas?pli=1 Also a mobile webapp.

There is Simplenote (http://simplenoteapp.com), which is a pretty no-frills web app that also integrates with a number of native apps (including Notational Velocity if you're on OS X).

Google Docs has a competing product to almost every MS Office component. OneNote is a staple to the MS Office family. I'd really like to know why Google deprecated Notebook. It was a great product.
I would love to use a simple editor which syncs to my Dropbox text files. I've seen some apps which do that but they try too hard to be cool and go overboard with their javascript animations, making them unusably slow. I might write my own.
