In my opinion, Trangles KeyNote is the classic and originator of the note taking software category. Today I found that RightNote can be integrated and synchronized with Impression Notes, allowing Impression Notes to support multi-level structure. The following is taken from RightNote website, thanks to Tingxun Shih, guestwind and Chang Feng for translation.
RightNote: Better information organization and tree note support in Evernote RightNote can help you avoid information overload. Find the information you need in real time with a global search by keeping large amounts of fragmented information in one place! With RightNote, you can control pieces of information: know how to store them and find what you need when you need it. It has a rich feature set.
