I, personally, prefer OneNote as a Notebook (even if I use Word too for more word-processing activities).
I use OneNote as a replacement for Notepad available on all the platforms I am using (including iOS devices, desktops, phone, laptops, tablets) -
I particularly like the concept of pages (sub-pages and sections) in a single Notebook and the ability to send content from other applications to OneNote (print to, Edge integration, recently screenshot integration...) - as I use it on many device that do not support pen, it proves OneNote does NOT require a pen. And, therefore, the question remains, is there not a way to configure OneNote (as we can with Word, Excel) so that pen is used -by default- as a selection tool (like a mouse or your fingers) and -occasionally- as inking tool
