I've been using notes-mode since 1998. I use it at work and at home for all sorts of things I want to keep track. Sort of external memory :-). It's one of the 2 packages I always install with emacs (the other one is bbdb). Very stable and also really easy to use. Select a descriptive subject and scribble a note, that's it. Also has encryption (I use it for my passwords). Over the years my index list has grown quite a bit and about the only feature I miss is some sort of 2 level indexing, i.e. group subjects together and collapse/expand them in the index file. Unfortunately I don't know anything about org-mode and planner. So I can't compare.
