Personal findings so far:
- Keyboard shortcuts are unparalleled compared to any other note taking app I've used (both desktop & web). Not needing to use a mouse to move around chunks of notes is highly productive.
- Safari seems to lose sync more often than Chrome.
- The design is really, really white. It took me a few days for it to stop hurting my eyes after tabbing to it from my IDE.

Of particular note is the ability to move around lines of highlighted text using option + keyboard arrows.
At first I thought it was just a neat feature, but now I pull my hair out every time I use a text editor without it.

The ability to tersely create checkboxes by simply typing square brackets [ ] and a few other neat formatting tricks proved to be the path to least resistance for us when planning and organising sprints.
We find we spend less time managing a project management system, less time creating lists of actionable items and more time to actually get stuff done. YMMV with bigger teams, though.
