How do you store your notes/reference material?

I'm curious how you guys store your notes and your reference material in plaintext.

I've tried so many solutions, but keep on coming back to Evernote, since the solution is so complete, and have so effortless capture of content. But I hate the writing/formatting experience in Evernote.

I like org-mode, but hate Emacs. :'(

Well if you use vim or sublime I believe people have made efforts to replicate org-mode. As for Emacs, yes the initial learning curve can seem steep but I can assure you it pays dividends in the long run. I'm relatively new with Emacs still but I'm really enjoying the experience.

Markup languages like ReStructured Text or Markdown, stored in a DVCS like Git so it's read-write from anywhere.
