I’m not so sure of that—there’s also a risk of spending too much time and attention on tools rather than on actually getting stuff done—what’s called “Productivity Porn”.
A bit like if an online community spent all it’s energy on talking about how to have quality discussions, instead of actually having quality discussions.
I agree but it seems like a niche problem. How many people have a good note taking system and understand how to use search engines to full effectiveness?
“Brain support”? Sensationalist title.
improving the efficiency of the exobrain tools we use seems to be vastly underrated.

Zim doesn’t represent any improvement in the efficiency of taking computer notes. Evernote beats it on most features.
Is “thought support” OK?
You still don’t give any arguments to support such a claim (to wit, “Zim Wiki provides thought support”), so no.
I suggest “Zim Wiki made me feel more productive” or “Zim Wiki is pretty cool, give it a try”
I default to interpreting it as “keeping a brain alive with machinery.”
