It's great to hear that Evernote has its loyal followers, as I WAS also for over 10 years. Was I a free-loader, absolutely, because they offered it. Now they are taking it away, totally fine, they have that prerogative. I would've been more than happy to pay a reasonable price, but $130/yr is NOT. That's twice what I'm paying for Microsoft 365 that includes OneNote and 1TB of storage. Is OneNote as good as Evernote, no, but I'll figure out how to make it work.
If I didn't have 365, Upnote would be the app I'd migrate to. The $30 lifetime license is what's reasonable. I'd highly recommend Upnote for a serious Evernote alternative. I actually wished I knew of Upnote before.
So long Evernote, and good luck to all of you who don't mind forking out their annual subscription.
