My complaints are primarily that:
1) Is is difficult to convert multiple pieces of handwriting into text
without wacky spacing between the words.
2) The results always seem to be worse than the input panel or even Journal.
3) The correction interface is not optimal for full-page note taking. The
Windows Journal approach is better, but still pretty ancient by now. If I
had the time, I'd like to create a nice correction UI for OneNote that was
optimized for converting a whole page of ink.
