If Gems interests you, I suggest you take a look at TheBrain, which appears to me to be a lot more feature-rich. The one thing that TheBrain lacks that Gems appears to have is a graphical window that is as malleable. But it makes up for that with a very flexible hierarchical scheme. Plus you can add a lot of meta data to your notes (called Thoughts in TheBrain). The note area of TheBrain has improved immensely in the new version. A nice feature, for example, is that you can import a screen shot right into the note.

TheBrain has native apps for Mac and Windows, as well as an iOS version (which I don’t use, so can’t comment on). It is a bit expensive, but not that bad given the cost of apps like Roam and what Gems is going to cost.

I am not saying TheBrain would be a better choice than Gems, but I think if you haven’t looked at it in a while, it is worth another try.
