I'm currently a Premium subscriber to Evernote (6 month was bundled in with a stylus I purchased, I got another 6 months after the stylus proved defective and had to be replaced). But I do not think I'll renew; I have Office 365 (family) subscription, and so storage issues will never be a factor using OneNote. I thought Evernote would be good for organizing genealogy stuff but was surprised there is a 250 folder limit even with Premium, which just doesn't seem like enough, given my other uses. And you just have two levels, basically: stacks and notebooks.
While OneNote has its limits, I think they are constantly improving it and have a solid user base, and don't have to juggle features and mess around with the value proposition as much. The Web Clipper seems good enough, and I get frustrated with Evernote's lack of formatting control (I mostly only use web interface). I have not used tagging very much so I will not miss it.
Meanwhile Evernote had 10-15% layoffs not that long ago and it's hard to know how they can grow and innovate at the same time if they don't have deep pockets.
But I'll have to see how it goes with stuff I want to migrate out of EN.
Microsoft has had some 'takeaways' also: Office 365 used to offer 'unlimited' storage but now it is 1 TB thanks to how that was being abused by some users. But overall I like the adjustments they are making business wise to stay relevant and innovate and integrate. Upgrading to Windows 10 was very painless and our computers boot up several times faster now (even our old netbook), and I'm looking forward to running full Ubuntu shell in there and stuff like that.
