I haven't ever used Tomboy (or any other notes app) and to my unaffected
eye it seems like the best places for it are applications menu and
desktop pop-up menu. It does not make any sense to me for it to be in a
panel...

My point is: Tomboy is launched as an applet, Gnote is a replacement for Tomboy, so I expect it to be launched the same way (Tomboy is a replacement for Sticky Notes, and that *was* an applet).

I won't dive into the debate about applet versus application, as this was probably beaten to death on the upstream mailing list (GNOME, about Tomboy), but the thing about note taking applications is that you don't launch them when you need to read/write a note, they are part of the desktop with an icon in the notification area. So you interact only with that icon.
