I'm a millennial and I still write notes with pen and paper simply because I can't be bothered to learn how to format in a notes app of any kind.
All of my notes are formatted in a bizarre way that makes sense to me. Applying that format in a digital space is always a giant headache.
I am switching to using Obsidian. Skipping the formatting all together and instead linking all my disjointed ideas to each other seems to be working pretty well.
It does have controller support ... I have no idea how good it is, but it's there.
