I use OmniOutliner on Mac with a custom template to take notes at university. I have a two-column template that allows me to write questions/cues for notes which then go into Anki. I'd like to have a more flexible way to work with the content, such as being able to create Anki cards from content seamlessly, and yeah, inline LaTeX formatting and diagrams would be really nice.
Something programmable/hackable is what I'd be looking for; it'd also be neat if everything was all part of one knowledge graph like Workflowy.
I've gotten nearly as fast as writing on paper for creating diagrams (in OmniGraffle) and LaTeX (with Mac app LaTeXiT), and being able to clearly read my notes without deciphering things outweighs the extra time spent typing.
