For me, I know digital note taking is inferior to handwritten notes. And there are some studies that show that is broadly the case. Probably the same ones you saw.
However, digital note making, I find, is vastly superior in a digital format. This includes the process of combining, organizing, and rearranging information. Essentially, making better notes from lesser notes.
As a result, I capture much of my thinking by writing it on paper, but I always transfer it into my digital Seedbox for further reference as usage. I also find this transference is, itself, valuable, as it creates an opportunity to reassess what I wrote. I find those multiple points of contact very helpful for remembering information.
