I like Simplenote because it's ... simple (just text, which is what I want). I used to use EverNote but it always tried to enforce formatting and I didn't like that. Since I use Linux and a Blackberry, OneNote isn't really one of my choices — but on my main computer (and laptops) I write in JOE (text editor) using the Jstar variant (because I like WordStar keystrokes). If I need to "fancify" the document, I just move it LibreOffice (rarely need to). Basically everything in Linux can save to PDF format, even from the command line.
I've got Simplenote on the Fire tablet and a nice Bluetooth keyboard and an app called JotterPad (where I write and then copy into Simplenote, so it's available everywhere). It's slick, but I never use it. (Just another failed attempt to find some use for my tablet — I guess I'm not a tablet kind of person.)
Sorry to ramble. I like plain text because it's a format that's never going to go away and isn't dependent on any application.
