I was trying to say that even with such *user* setup, behavior of Org 
should be reasonable. In particular, with draft patch I posted, *small* 
org-goto help buffer should not cause appearance of a new frame despite 
of `display-buffer-base-action' setting cited above, that is suitable 
for *regular* buffers. User still has opportunity to request arbitrary 
action for "*Org Help*" buffer through `display-buffer-alist'.

I agree that behavior of `org-add-note' is extremely intrusive. On the 
other hand I have no idea concerning its preferred behavior by default.

I do not think that something like `org-src-window-setup' should be 
introduced for notes and captures. Ideally it should have reasonable 
behavior by default and should be adjustable through `display-buffer-alist'.

Currently I can not suggest a snippet for `display-buffer-alist' to 
exclude zoom or teams windows from candidates for 
`switch-to-buffer-other-window' (that is called from `org-capture').
