Agreed! I've been using Notational Velocity for years (love the Simplenote sync) but I keep 'looking over the fence' at Evernote, with its everywhere-grab simplicity and massively greater functionality. I'm a teacher whose students are increasingly using iPads, and I keep hearing how Evernote is the only way to fly for student/teacher notebooks. So I open it up again, upgrade to the latest version, and BAM - I remember it has a HUGE, Skype-like monster window that won't let me shrink it to be a narrow slice at the side of my screen. My setup currently is: 1. iMessage down the left side, 1.5 inches wide, tied to a short-cut key. Contacts in top half, conversations in bottom half. I can see who's online and see (just) if they've said anything recently. 2. NV down the right side, maybe two inches wide, small notes list sorted date order at top, most of the space available for actual text. 3. Main window (browser, code editor, whatever) sits in the middle. I'd love to replicate this setup with the more powerful Evernote - but not at the cost of more than half of my screen! Evernote is a helper app, where I keep info related to the THING I'M ACTUALLY DOING. It's a delicious side order, but not the main meal: Mac OS is a beautiful multi-window environment and I love to work in it, BECAUSE it allows me to arrange my windows. Apps should never enforce 'their' view of the workflow on the user - apps that don't 'play nicely' with other apps don't get to play I can't actually type into this EVERNOTE forum window AND see Evernote itself at the same time! Crazy. If I widen this forum window to fit the text box I'm typing into here, all my Evernote text is hidden, and there's a pointless empty white space where my info should be: On the other hand, I've just used Evernote to push these 3 screenshots online and it was a seamless, painless, even enjoyable experience. Please Evernote, let me use you! John.
