Recently I've been using joplin [0] has mobile and desktop apps and uses a number of cloud storage to sync.

I tried wholeheartedly to migrate to using Joplin from apple notes so I could use a native client on more platforms than my phone + laptop, but it was frustrating in so many ways. S3 storage syncing frequently broke on the iOS app, simple auto-formatting insidiously defied my expectations, and it was very difficult to keep things organized without very explicitly labeling my notes (which I don't have to do with Apple notes, as you can see a preview of the text contained inside of the note). I'd love to revisit joplin in a few years when I have more time to tinker or contribute to the project, though.

Syncing in joplin is a pain. It brokes everytime.

I've not encountered this at all so far, syncing between my Linux desktop, android via Dropbox as always worked.

yeah syncing works fine so long as you rely on ... some other thing that actually works :D

This is true, however I like that I can use a cloud storage I am already using than having another service I need maintain.

If dropbox drop off the Internet there are other options I can use to sync.
