Check out Denote. I turned to it because Epistle had trouble with non-English characters. It syncs with Dropbox and has a minimalist interface.

My basic set up for note taking is indeed minimalist, and includes a suite of programs working with plain text files syncing via Dropbox (of course); I would prefer an encrypted solution like Wuala, but that will have to wait.

- Denote on Android
- Tea, TextRoom / pyRoom, FocusWriter, Gedit / Leafpad on Linux
- Tea, WriteMonkey / TextRoom, FocusWriter, Emeditor on Windows

In addition, the following programs are part of my cross platform toolbox. I tend to favour a tool if it can run on my tiny Eee PC 901 on Lubuntu. No bloatware allowed.

- Rednotebook journal
- Notecase Pro
- Outwiker
- currently trying out Zim Desktop wiki and VYM mind mapper
