Obviously Evernote is going down. They just want to force ppl to pay. Reality is, note-taking app is a commodity. So easy to find a replacement.
Good luck struggling Evernote ....

What are some great replacements? I know of Google Keep and One Note. I won't use Keep for anything except ephemeral notes because Google will likely kill it at some random point in the future and One Note looks good, but the UI doesn't click with me.
Simplenote is great except it's text only.
Wikis are nice, except the friction to add and retrieve is too high.
So I'm kind of stuck. I don't use Evernote very often (10-15 times per year), but when I do it does what I need it to do.

I'm probably going to use Google Drive/Docs now. Just as good as Evernote, and it even keeps a revision history, which is nice.
I would rather use a self-hosted solution though. I'm still uneasy with the idea of all my information being on the cloud and scanned by the NSA.

Me too. It surprises me that there aren't any great open source alternatives. Evernote's OCR was at times magical (it does a very good job on my hand written notes) and I've always wondered if they licensed that or built it.

But Evernote was just a jumbled repository were information went to die. I didn't _use_ Evernote in any productive sense except as a "dump and purge" place.
So I downgraded to Basic. Lost the ability to email notes to Evernote. This was my most-used method of sending things to Evernote. The loss of "email to Evernote" capabilities didn't matter.
I used Evernote less.
Now this downgrade. I suspect that for me this will highlight how little Evernote means in my workflow.
Here's the thing. The amount they want for Premium is trivial. And yet I don't even see the value of Evernote at its modest price -- after 4 years of subscribing.
Sorry Evernote. I want to love you but I can't find a way to do it.
