When was the last time an update "broke" the app for you? I would take that to mean the the app would no longer load or something. I haven't seen that with any update.

The new sync seems fantastic but it seems I had difficulties with image now showing up after a while or even tasks disapearing...

I've seen this too, esp. in the Android app with images added to notes in other clients. Others report that a workaround is to go to another note and the back to the note with the image, at which point the image shows up--that does work for me.

Couple things:

The Web client does have note history (for paid subscribers).

Two other things the desktop has but the Web client does not: import folders (since the Web client can't know if you're on your own computer) and full keyboard shortcuts (many of which would conflict with shortcuts claimed by the Web browser). A few KB shortcuts do work on the Web browser (such as Ctrl+Alt+1 for the Home page), but there is no list of them.

Personally I prefer the desktop app, but if I were doing a lot of Web clipping the Web client might be handier.

one thing I noticed when including images. When inserting images from the client on my iPhone I immediately see the attempt to add it to the client in my iPad and vice versa. However the “passive” client (the one which get the image synced from the cloud) keeps showing a blue icon expressing it is loading the image. When I quickly open another note on the passive client and immediately revert back to the note with the image, the image appears. So it might already add it to the note, but just not able to show it immediately. 
not a big issue. 

I see the same thing on my Android phone. More than a slight annoyance, hope it gets fixed, but far from a deal breaker.

Girding up my loins, to use an old-fashioned phrase, I will wade in (as someone who stuck with Legacy for over a year after v. 10 first limped out):

1. Don't know if this is still the case.

2. I liked the customizable toolbar. OTOH, many functions are available with keyboard shortcuts, which are faster when you're typing.

3. Please don't try to speak for everyone. KB shortcuts available.

4-5. Aesthetics are subjective, screens are larger than they used to be; I like spaciousness, but on a laptop things could indeed be tighter.

6. Reindex? If you mean manual sync, the newly released sync structure makes that obsolete. If you mean rebuild the database: Settings > Application > uncheck "Keep a copy...", sign out, sign back in and let it rebuild.

7. Many defaults have been added or re-added in Settings. But fonts are now meant to be common across all devices, which means sacrificing special fonts that Windows or Mac users might prefer. It's a tradeoff.

8-10. All working now.

11. Hard to know what the pain was, but it's drag & drop now, or click to the right of the notebook name at top of the note.

12. Always and rapidly with the new rollout.

13. We do seem to be stuck with auto-formatting (if you mean typing 1. starts a list); Ctrl-Z is the workaround, but I too wish it were selectable in Settings.

14. I think spell check uses OS level resources now.

The list of what was missing in 2020, of course, does not get at all that has been added that never was present in v. 6 and under, which have been game changing improvements for many: Home page, tasks, more consistent interface across platforms, Google Calendar integration, more advanced searching, and much else, including the quick syncing and real-time collaborative editing that have just rolled out. Of course, not everyone wants or needs these, and if you don't, you don't. But simply bemoaning what was lost does not address the value that the new version has added for many of us.

Are we going to see background syncing come to mobile devices? It has to be implemented thoughtfully so that it doesn't crush battery life, but quick syncing of tasks and reminders in the background would be very useful, and occasional background sync of note titles and (at least) an initial snippet of each note's text would be useful.

Honestly, I think that the updating with the new sync when you return to the app is fast enough that background syncing might not be worth it for any amount of battery drain. Reminders and tasks might be another question, though.

I just tested, and I also find that all text is exported as an image, yielding a pretty but non-searchable PDF. This happens using either Export to PDF or Print (using Microsoft print to PDF). I did this with two notes, a pure-text note that I created in Evernote and a text-heavy note clipped from the Web. The only difference between exporting and printing is that the MS print to PDF version has graphics in color not black and white (!), but does not allow selection of areas of the image or highlighting.

This is ridiculous. If I create text in EN and want to share it with others as a PDF, it definitely should appear just as I typed it and be searchable. And color images should be in color! I don't think that's unreasonable at all. @Federico Simionato, what happened!?

@janndk has now started a new thread on the specific new situation of export as image only; probably best to continue that discussion there:

I don't agree that everything in Evernote needs a workaround, not by a long shot. But this is pretty ridiculous. If I create text in EN and want to share it with others as a PDF, it definitely should appear just as I typed it and be searchable. And color images should be in color! I don't think that's unreasonable at all.

Yes, @Carl-L-ND, that seems to be the deal. It really is impressive to watch. Still working out what I'm going to do with it, since I'm a solo user of Evernote. But it makes me want to open a note in 2 devices just to watch the show. I think the colors may vary each time you edit on multiple devices (also cool IMHO). And text being typed on other devices appears in the Android app even when not in edit mode. Also see the article on collaborative editing that has just been published: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/12748274247059.

This is the third time I accept the update and they still didn't add a workaround for this. It's unnaceptable.

If you're willing to accept a workaround, please look through this thread, where several have been suggested.

Take a look at this post from Evernote's product head, and at other posts in this thread, to get a sense of why they're doing that (and why they're not stopping):

why Evernote developeres not considering it ..?

is it impossible bulid that feature??

people are requesting this feature since last 4-5 years.

Perhaps the answer has to do with how many people are requesting it. Because Evernote can be used for so many purposes, it seems to me that there is a tendency for each type of user to assume that their own use is the primary use for Evernote. "Evernote is for code writers." "Evernote is for document storage." "Evernote is for tasks." "Evernote is for writing novels." And when Evernote continues to generalize rather than to specialize for one particular type of use, people sometimes think they are being ignored unfairly. Personally, I would like to see Evernote have a better developed set of fonts, styles, and font colors. But Evernote's developers are ignoring me, and  they are doing so fairly.

No need to double post, please. This is being discussed in the Android forum:

@JOHNNYFIVE and @Mister Deeds, please take a look at the thread linked below in this same forum, where a number of users have reported similar things. Those who have paid subscriptions should definitely report this to support (https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/requests/new), since it seems to be fairly widespread.

Some come here to help. Some come here to seek help. Some come here to bee hitch and moan. Success all the way around.

Wouldn't it be better to first deliver and then increase the prices and absolutely new features worthwhile to buy in... 

This argument keeps coming up. But in fact new features have been delivered for the last couple of years, without a price increase (for those remaining in the same subscription level). Why didn't any of us complain about that? 😄

This has been reported in the forums by users writing in Arabic and Russian also. It seems to occur with notes that have been created using a widget or quick-note, but not in notes created within the app. How did you create the notes that are having this problem? In any case, it would be good if you also could report this to Evernote support: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/requests/new.

There seems to be an increasing number of reports of this. I hope that those who are experiencing it will report it to Evernote support: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/requests/new, so they can work on a fix.

Welcome to the forums. Please look at this existing thread on what seems like the same problem:

PLEEEEESE look around these forums to discover that (a) you are addressing other users here, not Evernote developers, and we cannot for any sake control what happens in the program; and (b) there are a number of existing threads that explain exactly how the checkbox vs. checklist system works. Perhaps none of them makes it seem like a good idea, but you can get an idea of how to work within it.

I'm on Windows, but I'm pretty confident that on all platforms the Evernote sidebar is just not expected to be printable from within Evernote. Best bet would simply be to do a screen clip and then print that, or paste it into a document and print.

Take a look at the Evernote for Android forum, where there are 1 or 2 other reports of this sort of thing: https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/forum/718-evernote-for-android-issues-versions-100-and-above/.

I wonder whether the issue could be similar to the one in this thread:

I don't know enough about the reasons behind using legacy (except habit) to rip it off right now. Hopefully I'll be more confident of the decision in a few months as I learn more.
But in any case we will still need to understand how many users are on legacy because they don't know about the alternative and how many are there because they need/want it. That's why we are ramping up communication and creating a path of least resistance that brings people to the newest version.

In this thread a user discusses why he needs the Legacy version because of medical issues with his vision. That's the kind of thing that I think Evernote should take into consideration in v. 10:
