From what I have seen, they look absolutely similar and their functionality are pretty much the same.

gnote is a port of tomboy..so it is not meant to be different than tomboy. Its just that it lacks some feature that tomboy has and is mono free. – sagarchalise Nov 8 '11 at 10:26

Gnote is a port of Tomboy to C++.

Pros: Faster, smaller memory footprint.
Cons: (Still) No synchronization support (e.g. Ubuntu one), which is a dealbreaker for most people.

You can read about the author's motives here.

It is the same note taking application, including most of the add-ins (more are to come). Synchronization support is being worked on.

Tomboy is not going to be installed by default in Ubuntu 12.04 - I suppose Gnote may take its place some day.
