Hi Marcus, Are you using Notes in Mountain Lion? Notes were much improved in Mountain Lion.
Notes in Mountain Lion <http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/features.html#notes> Pushed to all devices: With iCloud, your notes stay up to date on all your devices. Create notes on your Mac, and they appear in the Notes app on your iPad. Change a note on the go on your iPhone, and it’s updated on your Mac. Folders: Stay organized by arranging notes in folders. Search: Use the search field to quickly find the note you’re looking for. Add links: Notes supports links — simply highlight a URL and drag it into the note. Full screen: Click the full-screen button to take one or all of your notes full screen. Photos and attachments: Drag a photo or an attachment into a note to include it. Fonts, bullets, and lists: Format your note with fonts, rich text, bulleted items, and numbered lists. Built-in sharing: The Share button is built into Notes, so it’s easy to send a note to a friend or colleague using Mail or Messages. Sort Notes: Sort Notes by date edited, date created, or title. Pin notes: Pin a note to keep it handy on your desktop. Just double-click, and your note opens in its own window. Even if you close Notes, the note stays open on your desktop. You can pin multiple notes to see them all at a glance. Multiple accounts: Notes works with IMAP services, so your notes stay up to date on your devices. You can also create notes and folders that appear only on your Mac. I have Evernote as well, but find just for Note taking and jotting quick notes I use Notes App more.
