I love the organizational structure of the notes, where you can have notebooks and different notes within them. I also love that the notes are stored in Markdown, which allows for easy ready, because of the preview pane, and it also keeps the size very small for the notes, because it doesn't store a huge bunch of unneccessary junk. I use it every day, and it is very easy to use and integrate into your daily life. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Joplin?
