I've been a loyal evernote user for 5+ years now and IMO, its unequivocally, the best note taking app out there(including Keep, OneNote, Apple notes, Wunderlist etc). Looking at the comments, I am surprised that evernote isn't as popular among HN'ers as I thought it would be.
Having said that, I can see skepticism surrounding the app based on erratic updates they've been shipping for a while now.
The app has been ruined by :
- Wildly Inconsistent UI (Windows app > MacOS)
- Switch to table layout (monster margins look ugly and quite frankly, unbearable)
- Uncertain updates (more often than not it'll break an existing feature)
Few months ago, I mistakenly updated the Mac app and it was such a painful experience, I had to dig into archives and reinstall 2016 version to restore some sanity. As someone who is heavily dependent on the app, these changes have been frustrating. I'll be jumping ship the moment a viable alternative appears.
