ive been through a ton of note taking apps over the years as well, evernote, wunderlist, any.do, onenote, todoist, workflowy... switching back and forth between them at times but ive never really found anything that was 100% perfect for what i wanted.
what ive settled on for the last few years is dynalist. its missing a lot of features that i liked from the others like pen input with onenote, or adding images with evernote... but it works so well for me in other ways that ive learned to live without those features.
if youre not familar with dynalist, its an outliner style app where everything is a bullet point and you can have as many nested bullet points as you like. when things get too cluttered you can fold up the nested items or zoom in to focus on a certain group of items. each item/bullet point can also have a note which means you have have some things be a basic to do list and others be can be a title + a note explaining the title.
its the quickest app ive found for getting ideas out of your head. you just have to hit enter key to make a new item or tab to turn it into a nested item.
you can have different documents for different things and switch between them from the side bar or by using ctrl + o to search for the document name and then switch to it
its pretty ok for storing code snippets as well since you can put a descriptive name as the item/bullet point and paste the snippet into the note. you can add other comments to the end of the note or make new nested items underneath, then fold up the nested items so they dont get in the way.
you can use markdown as well and have hyperlinks that will link to a webpage or another item in dynalist
there isnt any option to add an item from your email though, but its on their planned features list:

as for workflow, i dont really use reminders anymore. i tried a few times with the other apps but i found that i was spending too much time postponing and rescheduling things than actually doing the things themselves :D
what i have in a lot of different places in dynalist is a now/next/later type setup and i just drag items between them as im able to do them.
any time the "now" section has too many things i move them to the "next" section, then fold up it up and forget about it until ive finished most of the "now" items. you can #tag items as well but most of the time i just add two commas to important items and then do a search which filters then list to show only the items that have them
have you tried
https://www.moo.do ? it does tasks, emails and reminders... not sure whether it does notes or not. it stores all your info in google drive as far as i know so you need a google account.
another app ive been meaning to check out is
