Some people like Workflowy for its flexible structure as you can nest bullet points infinitely.  This allows users to create structure that fits into what they really want. However the trade off is that you can spend some time at the beginning to create this structure.

 

#5: Thinkery

This is a free alternative to Evernote and is quite robust. The best thing I like is the harshtag features that can let you easily filter and sort through all the notes using simple harshtag.

 

#6: Octobox

Octobox is a new comer in the notes taking industry. Its integreation with Dropbox is the biggest selling point. Currently there is still some bug here and there but the product is improving. It is free and works great at the basic functions you need to take notes.

 

#7: NotePlus

Noteplus has one of the coolest hand writing technology I have seen. It is fast and it works beautifully on your tablet. It takes me all sorts of media files and has sharing features that is now a standard.
