I'm surprised no one mentioned Evernote. I switch between Evernote and OneNote depending on my mood. It's a bit of a shame the free version of Evernote only allows you to sync with 2 devices as of last year, but I guess they needed to push people to buy their premium subscription. Two devices is enough for me and you can use the website based version in a pinch.

Text files are fine but I really like the convenience and instant sync of cloud-based services and the
feature richness of dedicated note taking software such as
* image OCR
* clipping excerpts from websites,
* text to speech
* recording voice notes of meetings and transcribing them (not very well)
* being able to share notes and photos of whiteboards with co-workers

In terms of how easy it is to find stuff again, it isn't the software that determines how easy this is, it more comes down to the discipline I have when capturing things to add appropriate tags to them and file them in the right notebook.
