I just went through an unusual experience but I feel it's worth sharing as a new idea. I was a long-time paid Mac user and for reasons best discussed over a beer I switched to Windows for my work computer. First it was Windows 7. That was a huge step back but it turned out that IT was experimenting with Windows 10 so I got a new laptop in short order. Because it was a beta program, I had to reimage twice. Bottom line: I have had to install Evernote 3 times in a short period of time.
First time I had to struggle with the learning curve for a new platform. I had to figure out how to set options for look and feel that was similar to my Mac. I guess that's to be expected. But each of the other two installs was a PITA because I didn't remember some of the crazy tricks like File > Exit to save my option changes vs. click the X in the upper-right.
Contrast that to Chrome. When I logged into Chrome, it seemed to remember everything. When I switched from Mac to Windows it remembered my bookmarks. I had to freshly install helper apps like the Web Clipper. Makes sense. When I went through the next two reimages, it even installed the helper apps. It couldn't have been easier.
My suggestion: Emulate Chrome's memory so that when a user gets a new laptop or changes operating system versions and has to reinstall Evernote, their settings are remembered and all the newbie reminders are turned off.
