Oh wow, they even acquired Evernote and fired the entire staff. I hadn't heard about that.
Apples free notes app replaced it and other than being SLIGHTLY annoying that I have to log into the web app on windows machines... I dont miss evernote at all.

Looks like a webapp wrapper. It is snappy in my use though on a 2010 i7 MBA running Ubuntu 2022.
I was not planning to do that, and I don't wish that they force me to do that.
Isn't that because there's not much further the Evernote app can fall?
Also, the professional plan has GPS tagged notes, which I tend to like. Evernote doesn't have much alternatives for what I use it for. Notion doesn't work offline, Obsidian is too information dense and not easy to collaborate with. I use Obsidian + publish for my digital garden, but it doesn't work well for other things I use Evernote for.
I never had the data loss people mentioned about, either.
Lastly, I don't care about AI stuff in either Evernote or Notion. I neither trust the tech, nor I consent to train these "things" with my data.
I think the downhill slide has begun - they recently changed the terms / capabilities on their free version to make it even more limited and, presumably, to get more people to upgrade.
It's good to know this because it gives me the push I needed to finally move off my very limited use of the app.
