What I like

Interesting. The German version is only available as a payed option, no subscription. But it seems to have a lot of features you do not get in the English version: Duden spellcheck and grammar check a...

Thanks for the interesting insight, Stephen.
I use a much more simplistic setup because I strictly separate my task list and my notes.
