"I personally prefer regular text editors"
Version: Post-it Digital Notes 5.3
Pros
It allows the posting of notes. A lot of people like to work that way: with little notes and reminders. I personally prefer desktop text editors where I would have all of my notes in a single file and then I would search in that single file for what I need. For example: if I want to look at information about whatever I would use the Find function in the program to find them. Therefore I use a MS Word file. I use CesarUSA Text Editor BS too since it gives me extra tools to work with lists that I could sort and where I could eliminate duplicates. I also type in it since it provides autocompletion and spell checking. If I noticed that I misspelled a name of whatever I would do a Find and Replace and fix in the whole document, but with loose notes I would need to fix them in all of them.
Cons
Loose notes. I prefer all in one place and fix the errors in all of the matches.
Summary
I prefer one single file instead of loose notes. I use two reminder program instead of loose notes. I use Desktop-Reminder 2, but it seems like it uses a lot of memory, and I use Efficient Reminder Free, but it bundles all reminders with new ones, and that makes it harder to concentrate in the current reminder.
Instead of using a bunch of little notes I prefer to have word processing files and I will name each of them as needed. I would use the CesarUSA Text Editor to quickly open my favorite folders and find the files quickly. -
"Way too obtrusive and cumbersome"
Version: Post-it Digital Notes 5.3
Pros
feature rich
Cons
too many unneeded and obtrusive features
acts more like a full blown app rather than a simple note keeperSummary
Too much overhead unless you want a reminder note program to dominate your desktop.

"Too invasive of my space"
Version: Post-it Digital Notes 5.3
Pros
It could have been nice to have it
Cons
Advertisement and elements too invasive
Summary
I found it a bit too invasive of my screen. There were some advertising elements I just could not get rid of so I decided to get rid of the whole thing
Sorry but I don't feel like going back to it -
"Why this average program is most downloaded ?"
Version: Post-it Digital Notes 5.3
Pros
I can not understand that this average program has so many downloads. Why ? My opinion is that program is ugly. Also simple sending note through my LAN is not so simple, it is confusing and it doesn't work in my company on computers running Windows XP or Vista. So my summary would be that "Post-it Digital Notes" program is most downloaded program because it have prefix "3M". And 3M is brand an trademark, so many people thinks if this product is 3M Post-it Digital Notes they are sure it is the best. But that is not truth !!!
Cons
There are few desktop sticky (post-it) notes programs which are great. My opinion is that ShixxNote program is much much better than 3M Post-it. Better GUI, nice design, simple but with plenty of options after you start to dig. If you want to send note to co-worker(s) in your LAN you will do that with ShixxNote in a 5 seconds or less. It is neat and great for office communication.
Summary
Do not be stupid and think that if something came from 3M company is the best. Also Microsoft Sticky Notes program is so bad but will serve purpose. So consider sometimes that other programs are so much better, let's say 100 times better, like program ShixxNote which I mentioned before.
