It's simpler than Google Keep, more private depending on where you host your Nextcloud server, and in my experience it tends to sync faster.

Plus the data is human-readable since it's stored as plain text (or markdown) in your synced folder. If you can't access the website, or you want to use a local text editor, you have the files right there on your system.

The Android app from Niedermann IT is a lot faster than the built-in editor and manages to open and sync cleanly and quickly even when I have a spotty cell signal.

Simple, straightforward, and focussed on the long term.

Liberate your Android

This is a list of Alternative and Open Source Android Apps and OS I could recommend because I use most of them since November 2013 under Paranoid Android with a Nexus 5. Most of these apps are available via F-Droid. And when alternative don't exist and/or it not available via F-Droid, Aptoide and/or anothers repos; I use https://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/ to extract the apk from Google Play.
