You make really good points and I understand that is the thinking behind this. You are right.
However I can't help thinking that the fact that it is a conscious decision doesn't automatically mean that it is not a fail. Plenty of fails are badly made decisions rather than mistakes... My point is that for all the clever ai in the world I still cannot use Evernote as the business tool it is claiming to be if I cannot store sensitive data.
I am open to the possibility that I am doing something wrong here and just don't understand how to use the product properly, If so, please enlighten me. Is there a good way of, for example, hiding notebooks?
