I use Google Docs for almost everything these days. At a basic level, you can use it as plain text + easy hypertext via CMD+k. That by itself is very powerful. I don’t know if there is another product that makes it so easy to create hyper text. (They could make that even easier if they had a hot key to “copy a shareable url to this doc to the clipboard” or similar.) The downside I suppose is that your data is in Google’s cloud. Personally, I think that is a manageable trade off for my use cases, but I get that it may not work for everyone.
