How about general knowledge, unrelated to projects? Contacts, tasks, random ideas, programming knowledge, other knowledge...

That is indeed a problem. Perhaps nvALT will be a solution. One possible showstopper is that as far as I can tell, it can't display more than one note at a time. As an indication of how I work, right now I have 14 browser windows open. This is typical. Possessed of the ability to count higher than one, I find Single Document View pretty much impossible to work with, and programs that snatch away the document I was looking at just because I wanted to look at another one as well are thoroughly obnoxious.

ETA: nvALT doesn't itself allow multiple windows, but it supports invoking any external editor to edit notes.

wikidpad supports more tabs.
