They are a flaky business and they will not serve you as the customer. Look into their "100 year roadmap" or whatever they were hustling. But this is an anecdote of one occurrence. I understand business is business and if I was in the minority of the "power users" then fine. I lost the ability to use the smart notebooks they sold me when they discontinued the service.
And despite the $200/yr I gave their ecosystem, they couldn't keep it together. I still got upsold, I still got the marketing materials. EN helped me build a workflow that I paid for monthly, quarterly, and annually for various materials and add-ons. I would digitally scan my hand written notes into Evernote and catalog them. I was on the pro subscription, I had the Evernote Moleskine notebooks, I have an archive on my shelf. why would I want to deal with Evernote constantly trying to upgrade me, market to me, and generally tell me I'm worth more to them if I pay more. However, with applications like Notion whose value proposition actually meets the expectations I have. When Evernote was the only one really doing what they do, it was great.
Having an eco-system to foster productivity is table stakes at this point. The novelty of what they had going for them of multiple apps working together to get stuff done is just the norm now. Let's forget "novel" they are not creating standard and stable ways for me to be more efficient and productive with their software. And by new, I mean Evernote is not innovating and creating novel ways to be more efficient and productive. I mean we're talking a decade has gone by and we have not seen new features. The core service, the actual feature set, and the stability of Evernote have only seemed to get worse.
