I am not sure whether you saw this. Nor am I sure how helpful it will be:

I agree that there is a learning curve, and that the conventions of a wiki take getting used to ...

I am convinced that the usefulness of a Note-taking applications, no matter which one you choose, increases exponentially in relation to the time and effort you put into it. I know this must appear (and is) paradoxical, for you must commit before you really know. And after you have committed, you will never really know whether another one might have been better. Reminds me of marriage that way ;)

On Index Cards: I tried it, but it appears to me that it does not translate the index card method into an electronic equivalent and is too much of a copy of the paper-based model, but that is my very subjective view. (I also did not find it “intuitive” - again, a very subjective reaction that has to do with my prior experience.
