I'm in the same boat. The thing that makes SimpleNote indispensable for me is that it syncs with Notational Velocity. So much better than the default Notes app and its awful syncing.
I've been looking at emacs orgmode lately, and thinking that it'd something great to sync up to SimpleNote (I love the iPhone app). With an API, this all becomes doable...
I do wish there were a decent notes App on Ubuntu that synced. (Is Tomboy even worth trying?)
1. not only allow tag each note, but also allow users add customized metadata field. Like {'tag': ['todo', 'work'], 'alarm': '2010-08-25 00:00:00.000'}
The creation date and revision records are readonly metadata.
2. Scriptable event system based on metadata. Like fire an alarm at 2010-08-25 00:00:00.000, or send email to someone as soon as a note is 1000 words long.

Now if I could only use Vim bindings in there :)
Emacs gets support via GTK ... sigh, I guess I'll have to learn emacs after all.
