data point: when I got my scribe, I was shocked at how good writing on it felt. It might or might not beat my favorite pen on the best possible paper, but it certainly beat anything less than that. I’ve tried the remarkable, and ipencil-on-ipad and didn’t have this experience. Maybe that’s because the scribe hasn’t seen much use and it will feel worse once it accumulates dirt, but I think Amazon did a really good job with the feel of it.
I also find there’s a difference emotionally between “this note is not optimized for reference and will be a pain in the ass to find later” vs “this note will disappear from history the moment you look away”. Knowing I could find something if I really really needed it frees up my brain from having to retain it.
