This is not an easy question to answer because we don’t know what features or benefits you are exactly looking for. There are many different types of solutions out there that might be taking very different routes to solve the same problem.

Do you need it to have a tree-like hierarchy like TreePad? How about UltraRecall, RightNote or TreeProjects then? Or can it look like a database (e.g. myBase) or a wiki (ConnectedText)? Then there are the big boys like OneNote.

BTW, with updates in March 2015 TreePad doesn’t sound that moribound. Software in this category (especially those developed by one-man bands) may not get updated all that often. And there are plenty of oldies (such as Surfulater) that are still goodies….
