OneNote killed it. Apple Notes killed it.

Both are free. Both do about 90% of what Evernote Basic does.

OneNote is free? I thought you had to pay for it as part of Microsoft Office Student edition.

Just did a fresh install of windows 10. Onenote was pre-installed. When I installed office 365 premium, I got a second Onenote.

The free version of OneNote is lighter. The version that comes with Office is full-featured. (Don't know exactly what's different, I've only used the office version.)

The full version is also free. It comes included with the Office365 installer, but can be downloaded on its own: https://www.onenote.com/download

OneNote syncs to OneDrive - so if you have O365 your storage space is quite large, whereas free users only have 5GB (though compared to Evernote's 25MB this is still plenty)

Unless they've changed it quite recently, the version that comes with Office365 and the one from https://www.onenote.com/download are different programs.

The version that comes with Office is discontinued.

I did an office 365 install a week ago and recall a second Onenote popping up. Is it just no longer being developed, or did I get one of the last installs? I was unaware of the change!

Free on apple's appstore too.

Does Apple notes have a web clipper out even allow for attachments?

Attachments, yes. Web clipper, no I don't think so. But I doubt most people who used to use Evernote and now use Apple notes ever used the web clipper (including me).

I save web site as pdf and attach it to notes files when necessary. Whenever possible, I just try to name the file with tags to find through search.
