I've had this persistent nagging feeling that I shouldn't use Google Keep for anything important because it could be gone tomorrow.
Frankly, it is nearly impossible to recommend Keep when Evernote exists. Until they have, at minimum, some way to organize notes, it's just a pile of notes sitting in one window. But it would still be a hard sell when compared to all the Evernote features, such as the desktop clients that allow you to take screenshots and annotate them.
Edit: Oh, and there's also Geeknote¹ for CLI usage, as well as Vim plugins².
