Last time I cared about Tomboy vs Gnote arguments it was this:

Fair enough so taking ~6 months as cutoff date which puts at gnote
0.6.2 & tomboy 1.1.0

Comparing:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/tomboy/tree/NEWS

So has the syncing been implemented yet? IMHO it's the killer feature
to sync tomboy with linux, mac, win & cloud.

Also note that gnote vs tomboy in terms of disk space savings is
really about gtkmm vs mono. As far as I remember (again could be
out-of-date and less relevant with GObject-Interspcection) that gtkmm
is big and currently not-included by default on Ubuntu CD's.

ps. I use emacs-org mode and I don't have tomboy/gnote installed =)
