Tomboy is useful for notes I take during a project

I gave Tomboy a try because Sam Ruby spoke of it highly. I didn’t initially find it useful. I think the version they had in Ubuntu back then was too limited. But I am using it now at my newest project, and I find it is really useful. Mostly when I’m debugging something complicated, and the bug appears in multiple places, and it takes hours of detective work to track down the real problem, I’ve been using Tomboy to track the places I’ve checked, or the places that need to be fixed. It is very handy as a simple note taker, easier than writing everything into an emacs buffer.
