Okay, sorry for getting to this late, but my current top 3 (on my Mac) for my work as an anthropologist:

1. Tinderbox. For note-taking, outlining, brainstorming, journalling, etc. Unbeatable for its power, verstatility, configurability, etc.

2. VoodooPad or WikidPad. As a personal wiki, database, etc. I switched from (otherwise superior) ConnectedText to WikidPad for better alias handling. But now I am in the process of switching over to VoodooPad for better Unicode support (also has good alias handling).

3. The Hit List. An amazing outline-capable task management app that has nifty features that can be useful for note-taking too. (Easy keyboard-based tagging, processing, filing of notes.)

(On Windows, my top tool is OneNote.)
