Agreed with this, I actually do both. I use OneNote, but I don't want to waste time opening the app. So I simply open my google inbox app, and send an email to "me@onenote.com". It creates a note with the subject of the email being the note title, and the content of the email is the note content. [1]
I've commented in the past about that feature, I think they should advertise it more.
(One extra feature I enjoy with this is if sending URLs it also creates a snapshot of the webpage in the note , which can be pretty handy, especially since images are text-searchable.)
Another thing I'd do is save the thought as a Inbox reminder, but I switched to me@onenote.com, since it saves it both in my OneNote notebook, and in my "Sent" folder in my gmail account, the redundancy can be useful.
