[AccessD] One Note

Indeed.   I will also add the seamless integration with outlook also adds a lot of value for us.  We need to keep track of multiple projects at once and provide visibility to many different people.  Everytime anyone sends an email (or any data) that is relevant to a project, you can 'send' that email to Onenote immediately with a single click from Outlook, where it is stored as a page on the "emails" tab for that project in Onenote.  Now anyone who has permissions to view the Onenote workbook can see that all the emails/Data (stored in sequential order) regardless if they were actually cc'd in on the original.  Nice :)  The email is taken 'as is' including all links, attachments etc and you can open up the files from Onenotes, just like from Outlook.  Outstanding!

It also integrates very well with Office 365 - although the online version of One note doesn't have all the functionality of the desktop client.  Even so, it is pretty darn good.

It also has a very neat and functional "snag it" feature where you can grab anything on the screen and it immediately pastes it into the notes as a graphic - along with auto time and date stamp.  It is rapidly becoming the one bit of software I really don't want to do without.

I confess agreement with your take on OneNote. In recent weeks, I have grown much more enthused, and now have at least a dozen notebooks, one on SQL code, one on VBA code, one on Recipes (divided into two sections, Slow Cooking and otherwise), a couple devoted to specific clients and their projects, and so on. I love the instantaneous auto-save feature, and I love the ability to create sections and pages within the sections. My VBA notebook has sections for DAO, ADO, general purpose modules, classes, API functions and so on.

Prediction is difficult, especially of the future.
