(Mac) Writing Software

I've been looking around at a few pieces of OS X writing-based software. I've come to the conclusion that, rather than something that takes me by the hand and says "look fridge here's what you should be putting right now", I need something that will help me organise my thoughts and ideas a bit better.

Ulysses looks like a nice enough piece of code but at 100 euros, frankly it's a bit much for what it is. I mean, I could afford it if it was really going to help, but I'd have to be pretty sure.

I've heard people referring to Z-Write before; any positive experiences?

Also been looking at Devon Technologies' more general thought-organising products, like DEVONthink and DEVONnote.

I've got downloads of these things, I'm just wondering how other people organise themselves. I'm wondering, really, if I should just take text notes and organise them in directories like a sensible not-wanting-to-spend-vast-amounts human being.

Compatibility is a big thing with me; I need to be able to import and export as text without problem, given that I might take notes on a Palm, or when I'm at work, or anything. Being able to use RTF is handy, too.
