Evernote is mostly right to assume that if you've made it to their website, you already have some idea why you're there.

Well, that's a bad assumption for Evernote to make. I looked for info because the initial posts here made me think it might be useful somehow for organizing books and other assorted "stuff." And all the site gave me was useless garbage, and a list of all sorts of extra add-ins that are equally mysterious and puzzling.
It's different if I have a need I've identified and start looking for a program--if I know I want to do such-and-such and go looking for a way to do it. I just did that the other day looking for video editing software and found plenty of information at the official site and various forums and review sites that let me know which of the various software programs would do exactly what I wanted it to do.
The Evernote site bugged me especially because of stupid videos that were nothing but time-wasting puffery. They provided nothing.
Anyway, I barely use One Note, so I think I can live without Evernote.
