It's pretty and on desktop version lets you switch to keyboard.
It's ultimately a sketching application organised like a notepad, just like the reMarkable, so not a true pen based note taking app at all, since for 20 years, those convert either handwriting or custom "graffiti" to real computer text.

I realise I looked at it before.
I'm not familiar with these tools, but my main issue on the Kobo Clara HD was that I had to wait almost a second for each letter to complete. EDIT: But it would still be handy even on my low-powered Clara for one-line notes or doodles, just not ideal for long handwritten notes.
As a non-pro user, I still could see me using the text-entry tool to add - and edit - text with the keyboard, as opposed to the pen, if I am annotating a PDF.
I could reserve the pen for doodles, which would be editable by the erase tool.

I see there is an ongoing discussion about text recognition:

Also maybe there are other options like OpenBoard and Jarnal, or even LibreOffice Draw?
I would have to test them out someday.
