These are mostly negative reviews of Evernote. Yet, I do like the product and I am yet to find a replacement that offers these must-haves:

* Multiple tags per note

* OCR/search on attachments

* Web clipping (full page and individual sections)

* Mail to Evernote (with attachments)

* Decent WYSIWYG

* Good scanning support ("scannable" app)

It did have its problems and did lose 3 or 4 notes due to syncing issues but today's web version is usable and the product seems stable now. I agree that the acquisition is probably not good news. So, if anyone knows of a replacement with these features, pls reply!
