I do this sort of "raw material" note-taking on a piece of paper because a lot of my thoughts I feel most able to express with diagrams, shapes, lines-between-things, visual patterns, etc. I haven't found a good digital equivalent.
It's fascinating to see other people's systems, since it gives a glimpse into the different sorts of minds out there. Doing everything with text feels like a straitjacket to me, but likely the same would be true for other people if they did it my way.
Does anyone else feel like the "thoughts == words" crowd get too much press, sometimes?
