I have recently started using Evernote on my Mac and my iPhone and I'm coming to the conclusion that they're very valuable. But I was put off at first and continue to enjoy using the program less than I otherwise would because I think that the user interface is really pretty ugly. (Controls are scattered all over the left pane, the Search Notes menu choice does nothing if the toolbar is hidden and is equivalent to clicking in the search field if it's shown, and screen real-estate is devoted to un-hidable formatting controls in the right pane, for example.)
I'd be happy to spend some time writing up my opinions if there were a decent chance that someone with the power to act on them would read them. I think that Evernote could get more users if a user's first impression of it weren't that a bucket of user-interface components had been spilled across the screen.
