I would suggest OneNote. They have an app for every platform (not sure about Mac, but the web version works nice on Chrome), and the sync is totally solid. It has everything Evernote has, and then some more. I use it like a scrapbook where I can keep my to-do lists, reference info that I want access to later, a few links, even a bunch of scripts that I need to run sometimes.

I'll second OneNote. I haven't used EverNote since 2011 due to a revamp if their UI which didn't sit well with me. OneNote is pretty simple and basic at it's core, but the ability to have multiple books gives separation between work/personal, multiple tabs allows separation between projects and multiple pages allows separation between tasks. It helps me structure things fairly well.

Thanks for the recommendation. I think I had tried OneNote on iPhone a few months ago and dismissed it because I didn't like how it was laid out or something.

I just installed the desktop version and wow, it's really nice.! I particularly like how the rich-text editor works. Seems to capture the spirit of Evernote quite well.

OneNote thirded. Switched from Evernote a year ago. I love it. And it's from MS. Weird. Good weird.

Does it have something equivalent to Evernote Web Clipper? I rely on it heavily.

I don't know what that does in evernote. I just copy and paste stuff from the browser and it pulls all the formatting and the link too, in the note. Also, there is a built in screenshot tool. I use it sometimes to take snippets from the browser.
