I have licenses for OmniOutliner Pro, Circus Ponies NoteBook, NoteTaker, DEVONthink PE, and Alepin. They all have appropriate uses. They all have strengths and weaknesses. Over the years I've used MORE, Inspiration, Acta, and others. I've tried just about everything that gets listed in VersionTracker. Out of these choices, Hog Bay Notebook is my favorite as a constant companion for jotting down and organizing thoughts and quick notes. In fact my preference for its basic design creates feature needs that are not presently implemented.

I have been using Hog Bay 3.5 since its early beta stages and have not had any data losses and very few crashes (less than 10).

The developer is very responsive

It looked pretty slick, with its aliases and links, but within a few hours I found too many crashes happening and odd screen behavior (not stepping behind newer windows) and uncorrectable long lines in columns, so I went gladly back to OmniOutliner 3 Pro.

If you have a lot of info to organize in a coherent fashion, this is a great tool. Love the searchability and the plain-text feel. I tried CircusPonies Notebook for a while, but it didn't preserve any formatting -- I can drop a poem into Hog Bay Notebook and it will preserve any tabs/spacing. The folder/file organization helps keep things in logical hierarchies, and I'm more comfortable with how it looks/feels just like a finder window than with graphical 'pages' in a virtual spiral notebook.
