Martin, you make great points. My perception is that none of the big players jumped on this particular bandwagon until they realized the power of EN. I paid no attention to OneNote even though I have Office, and Apple Notes was little more than a grocery list maker. I don't work, so there was no push to use any particular product. Google Keep doesn't seem to be in the game at all. The EN fan base is huge, just check the EN books on Amazon or the pins on Pinterest. I can't imagine all these users, free or premium will jump ship, I will not. I'm a premium user and will go the th Plus plan. I think the big question is who will buy the EN company and when. The competition is rough and they will all be trying to lure or buy the EN user base.

Tip: In OneNote, just add any tag to the body of the note, or before or after, or float over it, etc. You can search across multiple notes, tabs, and notebooks VERY quickly.

Hope this helps.

I looked into this, and discovered the feature to search by tag doesn't exist in the iPad version. Desktop yes, iPad no. So Evernote is still my first choice.

Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. I'm still torn about leaving. I would make the move primarily for the stability of the company, not the minimal cost of the Plus plan which is the one I'd go to. But the difference in the stability of a company like mega-Microsoft and apparently-struggling Evernote does make me think about making the leap.

if I were to move, and I don't want to, but I'd go to Apple Notes rather than OneNote. I think anyway. Has anyone migrated to Notes from Windows?

I'm a long time premium user too, one of the few services I'm willing to pay for. I've played with OneNote and just can't get it, don't understand the look or how tags work, though I understand their finctionality is nothing like Evernotes. Just the idea of having to find and reorganize all my notes while learning a a new interface is daunting to me. As long as the company stays afloat and is stable, I'm here to stay, at the Plus level.

Don't panic - I'm not jumping anywhere!  I'm definitely one of the 'sticking with' group - watching the ongoing panicfest with complete disbelief.  I paid for Evernote from the time I worked out it was a good piece of software that did a necessary job for me - purely on the basis that no-one works for free,  and giving Evernote some revenue meant they could stay in business and develop better features for me to use.  I still haven't found anything that does the same job,  so I'll be staying here for the foreseeable future...

 

Whew! I don't know where I got the idea that you were leaving. I can't find anything that does what Evernote does, as good as Evernote does it. I too have paid for it because it is so important to me, it was love at first sight for me. I am a writer and my mission is to limit the services I pay for as much as possible. You could go broke trying to get a book edited and published. I manage my own blog, format the manuscript etc. myself to save costs, but Evernote is one of the things I willingly pay for. Glad to hear you're staying, I think I'm ok now.

I love Evernote, deeply and truly. We've been together for a while and I haven't minded paying for this relationship. However, I too thought it might be time to move on, however I can't find anything as good. I don't get the OneNote interface, plus, if I understand correctly, you can't search by tag, for example you can't search for all the notes tagged 'sequel' or 'query'.That's a big deal to me because I'm a serious tagger.  Plus there are horror stories in the Microsoft forums about what a mess the import makes on one's notes and tags. Too bad I didn't follow Grumpy Monkey's tagless plan. Anyhow, regrets aside, I looked at Apple Notes, but the web clipping function is nowhere near as good as Evernote's. I work alone, don't need to share, don't manage a team, but I am addicted to Evernote. But I'm getting worried. Is the price hike the big deal here or are there other issues causing this exodus.
