Perhaps because Org-Mode just does the job of note taking so well, no
further enhancements are needed?

Myself, I use it to document the work I do (so note taking primarily, some
task scheduling and some project tracking).  I put a single Readme.org file
in a directory, then include excerpts from emails about that piece of work,
links to scripts which run the various analyses with overview documentation
mostly in the org file, excerpts of results, TODO/DONE items to schedule
stuff that can't be done right away.  Then I can create an html-export, and
give my colleagues on the same project a link so they can always check up on
where it's at, etc.  These Readme.org files can get quite huge, and the
outlining/TAGS functionality means they remain navigatable.

I hadn't considered concept maps, but see these could be very useful in the
development stage of projects - thanks for the tip!  I'm not clear, though,
how these would work in org-mode (without export to graphviz or similar).
