Note taking, journaling, second brain ... which application?

 I am always searching for a note taking app that would allow me to organize my notes.

It is always easy to take notes, to add tags and add more stuff.

The issue is to have a return on investment. What do we gain from typing all these notes and trying to tag them?  If it is a big mess after a year, it is better to take notes on paper (for instant gratification) and leave it to Google to find th info on Internet a few years later.  You can then take new notes on paper ...

I have been using Workflowy for years. It was very quick, simple and reliable. And Free to use.

Then I switched to Roam last year. There was so much hope (and hype?).  Today other similar applications (Workflowy typically) feature the same backlinks. And Workflowy is faster. 

Today I might leave Roam. What I am lacking is still

• a User Experience that would facilitate organization, structuration. 
• a way to publish some of the hierarchy to a blog or Static Site

I am looking to Foam and Dendron and LogSeq.  But adding content to them is not as seamless as with Workflowy or Roam.

 Google Blogger platform seems to be much more responsive than it was a few years back.

Maybe I will come back to it.

It is a very simple and efficient way to blog.
