I use it for a mix of text, handwriting/drawing, PDF annotation and image annotation, and I also pretty heavily rely on realtime sync between my devices. If none of that is stuff you use then I can see why you might want something simpler

OneNote. Don’t love being super reliant on all the Microsoft Office cloud stuff but there really isn’t anything that comes close to what I use it for

Not really the same thing at all if there’s no handwriting support.
