I think Evernote has basically run out of money and cannot afford to continue much more product development. This request was first posted in this thread more than 5 years ago and Evernote has not even bothered to comment on this thread. It's an easy feature to add and that is clearly desired by the community. If they had enough money they would do it. They've raised $205 million in investment capital, but their last round ($20 million) came in 2013. Source: https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/evernote/funding-rounds
