Yes, I thought I was going nuts after seeing all the negative comments about Evernote here.
Personally, I started using Evernote seriously only a month ago after several years, and recently trying pretty much everything else (notion, obsidian, joplin, workflowy and 10s more..). So I don't have any of the baggage from whatever mistakes they made years ago.
It's been awesome. Very wide featureset like more than just markdown, web clipping, auto scanning & OCR, sketching support on iPad, tags and fully cross platform. I found every other application to fall short somewhere and just be too opinionated. Evernote is solid and powerful enough to support almost every usecase I have but not opinionated.
I wonder if this backslash is based on reality or not. I mean, what is gonna happen? Maybe these guys are able to solve the technical problems that Evernote has been having. Maybe the product, which now works well on desktop, but slow on mobile, improves and they just sustain it without increasing prices. But it may also happen that they try to squeeze every penny from Evernote before dumping it into the trash. Who knows!
I think many people have burnt by the old Evernote. I've also almost stopped using them, and their new apps saved me as a customer.
Since many of the people who despised of Evernote never tried their new apps, and doesn't know what changed and how it works now.
It's still not perfect, and based on Electron, yet it's leaps and bounds better when compared to yesteryear, and it really works well for my case.
I think we need to see where it's going to go. As I said elsewhere, I don't want to abandon them when thinking how I use them, and hope that they don't do some drastic changes.
I'm considering as this hasn't happened, until the new changes start to rollout.
Your position is wise. I'll do the same, but with one difference. I'll stop using Tasks. I love it, but tasks are not exportable by tools like Yarle. So, to avoid the lock in I will switch to Microsoft ToDo for tasks and I will continue to use Evernote for the rest.
