improving the efficiency of the exobrain tools we use seems to be vastly underrated.

I'm not so sure of that - there's also a risk of spending too much time and attention on tools rather than on actually getting stuff done - what's called "Productivity Porn".

A bit like if an online community spent all it's energy on talking about how to have quality discussions, instead of actually having quality discussions.

I agree but it seems like a niche problem. How many people have a good note taking system and understand how to use search engines to full effectiveness?

Zim doesn't represent any improvement in the efficiency of taking computer notes. Evernote beats it on most features.
