Simplenote vs CherryTree opinions
It is not the equal of cherry notes. It is a great note ap for all three. I have been using cherry tree for several years and it is great. I will use the android version when it comes out. I use simple note with cherry notes and I will continue as it is a good lite weight application and easy to use and quick.
Just as easy to use as Cherry tree and is multi-platform. (no cherry tree on Mac). I have to use Windows (work). I use Mac (home) use Ubuntu for work notes. (my choice).
Not the same. No multi-level sub-folder system.
priangI can't add images to the notes
Does not have hierarchical note ability
Zim brings the concept of a wiki to your desktop. Store information, link pages and edit with WYSISYG markup or directly typing some lightweight markup syntax and see it previewed as-you-type.

LordMaxVery similar, simplest and use txt files
len51I use Zim & CherryTree both.
andgregorikUnlike CherryTree, Zim hates Windows with a passion, and it's no longer supported as of 2019. Also, no dark theme. CT's UI feels snappier, faster. Other than that, Zim & CT are very close.
AasSame concept, but stores data in plain text file, so you can browse your notes even without the app. For example on Android with any text editor.
pihentagyWYSIWYG editor, hierarchical structure, plain text files, versioning (handles git). Great tool!
