Please clarify what OneNote is for and what you perceive as advantageous

seems to be some sort of scrapbook kind of application where you can
paste snippets of text, images, audio and video. the usual reviews on
the net tells that there aren't any exact replacements of OneNote yet.
EverNote comes the closest but i think its not free software.
excerpt quoted from "getting started" page of MS OneNote
//begin quote
In its simplest form, OneNote is an electronic version of a paper
notebook where you can write down notes, thoughts, ideas, scribbles,
reminders, and all kinds of other information. Unlike the traditional
document page format of other programs such as word-processing or
spreadsheet programs, OneNote offers a free-form canvas where you can
type, write, or draw notes in the form of text, graphics, and images
wherever and however you want them.
Unlike the notes in a paper notebook, OneNote lets you add, move, and
delete anything on its pages and in its sections. You can add more
space where and when you need it, and you can stay organized by
dragging note items into their own sections or even into different
notebooks. You can separate and organize your notes by subjects or
projects, or keep separate notebooks for different places and
interests. OneNote is easy to use, and it doesn't force everyone to
work in the same way.

y'know what? i just opened up my google notebook and it look pretty similar. :)
but these are offline solutions. the way i see it is that most
information for me would come from online sources only so except the
times when my university's oversmart admins think of blocking google
sites as well...i don't think of a need for an electronic scrapbook.
OneNote allows using the wacom tablet and stylo (fancy feature, i know).
Should competition of applications be just a chase to implement one
more feature before the other. openoffice could add some image
slideshow viewer as well, in that case.
I presume, given the vendor, that there are other more mature, more
established programs of the same genre on the market.
you need not presume. you can go to
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/onenote/FX100487701033.aspx and have
a look yourself.
Could you please
name one or two of the established programs so we can get an idea?
google for "alternatives to ms (or microsoft) onenote"
This sounds like mind mapping software in a way. There are various mind
mapping programs that can be downloaded.
