Tossing in my 2 cents ...

I love outliners - I’ll buy omnioutliner the first day its available for windows. I still use Inspiration, as it just works well for me.
But lately, I’ve moved more to plain text files and dropbox. I find I can access them from anywhere, on any device.

My current favorite is actually not an editor, but personal wiki (hold the groans) ... Ema
http://jwbs-blog.blogspot.com/2010/09/ema-personal-wiki-for-android-and.html

It is an android app, with a windows version available - all free. It can use dropbox to store/synch notes, and uses markdown format for its text files. Ema is simple, intuitive, and good enough for quick notes - while adding structure and organization at the end of the day.

Just my thoughts ...
