For me at least, I try to avoid Word because it is so slow and cumbersome compared to notepad or notepad++ for the purpose of writing notes. It seems like most of my word processing is for my eyes only.

I didn’t realize how much I hated Word until I started using Pages. For notes specifically I prefer some sort of Markdown editor.
I’ll have to give pages a try. I think perhaps I favor the earlier versions of office products because I learned on them, they’re faster, and they weren’t as a service.
I’ll go for latex if something has to be published and certainly use power point a bit but am always on the lookout for new approaches. It’s great that power point can pull/receive graph data.
A word processor like Word is really aimed at larger, more complex documents with formatting.
Notes are usually smaller with simpler structure and formatting. With notes, it helps of the app gives you a way to organize the notes. This is really a different use case.
