Is there a good outliner/note-taking alternative to emacs org-mode (with images)?

Org-mode from Emacs is awesome to scribble down project notes and also maintain a todo list where you can quickly move things around (up/down, indentation etc.). However, especially when it comes to images, the emacs is rather limited (since it's a text-editor). There are ways to include images, even copy-pasted images from the clipboard, but the results are rather unsatisfactory. For instance, an image in emacs is treated as a character, so if the images is higher than your screen there is no way to see the bottom of it. The existing workarounds for the scrolling problems are also not very satisfactory.

Is there any good alternative to emacs org-mode? I checked through dozens of programs, but no other software (that supports rich-text) would allow for fast, keyboard-based folding and moving of items.

It may be considered heresy, but what about OneNote? It's WYSIWYG and freeform.

Org-mode has now in development (git) the following, that would fit images in Org buffers, with no need for thumbnails, etc.:

(setq org-image-actual-width 300)

=> always resize inline images to 300 pixels

etc...

Development version:
http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/
git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git
