I fell kind of ashamed of saying, but: the Mac Notes app, with data synchronized with my Google or iCloud account. Tried Evernote more than once, and gave up all the times I tried.
Can you provide more context to stimulate discussion?
I keep different notes in different places. Most of my notes are on paper, although there's also a good amount as plain text files saved on various computers I own. More incidental, spur-of-the-moment notes are in Google Keep, which serves as a (very) poor man's Evernote that syncs between my phone and the cloud.
The bulk of my notes isn't kept in the cloud because they're heavily context-dependent, and I get little benefit from having them available at all times.
I don't really have a specific direction I want this post to go in except for 'notes'. Apps people use, organization methods, digital vs paper, all fair game.
For anything important, a notebook. . In terms of the CAP theorem it trades strict consistency for availability. I find physical reality is a useful abstraction with a well defined API and good persistence model -- also widely available and open source.
