I used to use notes a lot in the just way TenFour describes, but less now, because of a couple of recently-introduced drawbacks.

Firstly, a note is no longer just text, it's formatted text, so if you copy something into it from a web site you get the formatting too whether you want it or not, and there doesn't seem to be any way of removing it.

And secondly, notes aren't automatically backed-up as you go like draft e-mails are now, so if the browser crashes or the phone runs out of charge before you've saved what you were working on, then it is lost and you have to start again.

So for both those reasons I now tend to create draft e-mails and edit text in there instead.

But notes are great for storing information you need to refer to frequently, or things you think might be useful one day.

As well as all the sorting options TenFour mentions, you can also now 'pin' them to the top, which, I've recently discovered, is actually rather handy.
