I see there's a lot of conversation here back and forth about reasons for, reasons why some don't care, reasons why folks speculate it'll never change.... Well, Just count me in among the folks who want something useful like nested notebooks and stacks. Using tags for what essentially amounts to folder organization isn't really intuitive for most folks. Nesting just provides a nice basic visual mode that most of us are more wired for cognitively speaking than something abstract, like tags, which are used for a different kind of indexing purpose entirely by many of us. People are cognitively accustomed to space and objects in a virtual mode, text is an evolutionary overlay that some work quite well with, but most people find offputting. Just because evernote has a majority (according to some users here) of people who use tags, it doesn't mean that tags are more popular for organization, it just means that evernote has artificially excluded the vast majority of people whose minds work a different way. Evernote was adopted early on by people who were already tech savvy for the most part, already think differently, are wired differently than the mainstream population. Evernote is convenient for them, and folks like me somewhere in the middle, but we are not representative of the general population. Those of us who are text reliant in this mode of organization are actually pretty dramatically neurodivergent, in a really cool way in some respects yes, but I'd rather be inclusive than exclusionary with tool use. And I am as I said halfway between you all that prefer tags, and the general population that would prefer a visual mode. Can I figure out tags for that? Most days yes, but when I'm having autoimmune flareups, that affects brain, cognition, and I cannot figure out those text based hierarchies, that symbolic system that is such a recent development and overlay. Certainly I can still read, words still function in a linguistic sense as they are meant to, but in the hierarchical sense you all have described above, that becomes like learning a foreign language as an adult. Can be done, but most people will never be fluent. I know I'm all over the place throwing metaphors and changing thoughts midway through in an effort to get a point across, as I'm in the middle of one of my episodes now. I apologize for that, but a lot of folks I know don't like software packages of this nature and won't use them precisely because the visual icon organizational mode is insufficiently developed. the people who do use the systems are the ones comfortable with it, but we are in no way representative of the general population that would LIKE something like this designed for more neurotypical minds. It's funny that though I'm autistic, I'm just slightly too neurotypical to make use of the functionality of tagging described here in a comfortable way. Again, can I do it, yes, the majority of the time. DO I have any desire to sort through a text based organization system rather than a nesting, visually organized system? No.
