I was looking into org-mode, but it seems to be a bit overkill for my needs at this point.

I've read a lot of comments and threads here on HN, but I couldn't find ones newer than 5 months on some of the software I was considering.

I want something I can use easily for university (Research papers/essays/ rich notes), and creative writing projects(I may pick up scrivener eventually)

I am particularly interested in Treesheets & Tiddlywiki. OneNote is nice, especially for annotation/drawing but Microsoft is kind of creepy. I could encrypt, but I also prefer open source.

Has anyone tried those all/others and have a favorite to recommend? I will probably write most of my notes for school on paper then transfer them, but for big projects, I prefer something more useful than like Microsoft word.

Thank you!!
