I read the Wikipedia entry for it but it didn't really shed a lot of light on these types of questions:
1. Can I embed images and more specifically can I embed animated GIF files?
2. Can I embed MP3s and play them within the note?
3. Does it support rich text editor functionality including the ability to insert tables easily from programs like Microsoft excel?
4. Can I use multiple fonts in the same individual note including monospaced ones and broad support for Unicode?
5. Can I easily sync and edit the data on my iPad, then on my android phone without having to worry about where the data is stored?
6. Will it automatically OCR embedded images and allow me to do text searches across my entire set of notes based on that text?
If the answer to most of these questions is no, then it doesn't sound like org-note is the best note taking editor as you claim, it just sounds like it's the best editor for your specific set of criteria which does not apply to all notetakers. And that's the problem with trying to narrow down the best note editing tool, it's such a broad area that every notetaker will have their own idiosyncratic needs and priorities.
As for me, I have also experimented with a great deal of note editing utilities and the only one that has reasonably met most of my requirements is Evernote.
EDIT: of course if the answer is yes, then I may just have a new favorite note editor.
