Here is a "OneNote vs Evernote" article I wrote about my experience, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each tool.

I read your comparison; very useful and informative. Thanks for sharing it.

It seems that anything that uses the API is not affected.
Still hoping for Dropbox support though as that would let me sync my highlighted PDFs directly and I would have no need for notes export to get to my highlights quickly...

So my take on Nimbus Note is it's a really nice app. It's very similar to Evernote. It has a really nice web clipper. It's the closest I've found to a replacement.

However it doesn't do a great job of importing certain types of notes from Evernote. I found alot of clipped articles were blank. So for simple notes it does fine but web articles you will lose. The web clipper does clip articles really nice so it does support them just not Evernote's version.

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.

I unistalled Evernote from one of my PCs, my laptop, and tablet. I'm going to try to still use it for my phone and main PC. I'll see how that goes. It says Evernote Web doesn't count against the device limits, so I may change the PC and reinstall on my tablet. I kept the PC for now as sometimes I do like to type lists out on an actual keyboard.
