CherryTree is a fine cross platform hierarchical note taking application, and like most of the others, allows rich text editing and insertion of images, tables, lists, and hyperlinks.
Althoght, it does not seem to be well-known (I could not find a tutorial; therefore I have written a very brief hands-on guideCherryTree Hands-On Guide) it would work great, even as an outliner. However, in my opinion, its unique and the most interesting feature, is syntax highlighting, and that is the reason I would recommend it to developers.
Nevertheless, it has some shortcomings, such as not having spell checking.
