There's a critical mass of tech, anything smaller than that can sometimes just be a worse emulation of pen and paper, unless your task is specialized or your goal is to explore ideas in computer science.
If a technology is available to anyone, and people choose to use analog stuff instead of it, I take that as an indicator the tech did not meet critical mass.
Old and small stuff has lots of great ideas to look to for inspiration, since it's simple enough people can build it in a day and there's lots of experimentation, but if I had to choose a command line notes app or a pocket notebook, I'd probably choose the one I could carry that doesn't require power.
Google keep on the other hand has so many features in one place plus sync, and just-works reliability, that the net value seems to more than just using paper and not doing tech at all.
