ok fair. but your comments are still bashing the customers with pro skills here.

A feature such as 'markdown' is not the same as to say, I want the background of evernote to be 'purple'

Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain text formatting syntax. It is designed so that it can be converted to HTML and many other formats using a tool by the same name.^[8] Markdown is often used to format readme files, for writing messages in online discussion forums, and to create rich text using a plain text editor. As the initial description of Markdown contained ambiguities and unanswered questions, many implementations and extensions of Markdown appeared over the years to answer these issues. John Gruber created the Markdown language in 2004 in collaboration with Aaron Swartz on the syntax,^[2][3] with the goal of enabling people "to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, and optionally convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML)". In March 2016 RFC 7763 and RFC 7764 were published. RFC 7763 introduced MIME type text/markdown with the original variant. RFC 7764 discusses and registered the variants MultiMarkdown, GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM), Pandoc, CommonMark, and Markdown Extra among others. ref: wikipedia

This is mandatory option for many technicians, coders, etc.

After playing around with Dropbox Paper for a bit, I've officially started my migration from Evernote. Markdown support is great, and you can even create templates to quickly make notes from. 

I really would have loved to continue using Evernote, but the extra storage space is the only benefit I'm getting after upgrading to Plus. A lack of useful features, consistent bugs, and general bulkiness have finally turned me off.

Sorry but there seems to be no Markdown support in Dropbox Paper or provide a link of the docs.
Currently our team is using the editor 'Remarkable' in combo with cloud storage.

Good bye, Good Luck

"If you're not Evernote employee, no need to follow-up,
your answers are ignorant and give negative feeling about Evernote."

You better should go instead of bashing professional users and customers.
Do you speak for Evernote, because I report your attitude.

Sayings come to mind.  Cutting off your nose to spite your face.  Throwing out the baby with the bathwater

A great feature in Evernote is that I can use any editor  I choose.  Notes can contain files of any format.

If I wanted to use Markdown, I'd select an editor that supports it.

This arguments is an example of something that holds no ground. Evernote is partly an editor.

Evernote claims to be a note keeping solution. If the customer wants markdown, You provide markdown in the evernote editor. Simple.

Coders need a better way to take notes and this can not be done properly with the current software.

If markdown support is the most important feature for you, you should be looking at another product.
If purple highlighting is the most important feature for you, you should be looking at another product.
If .... (this list could go on and on)

In addition to whining, you can add your support to the feature requests using the voting buttons in the upper left corner of the discussion.  It will help indicate the request priorities

DTLow, I am a senior IT, having about 30 years experience in the field as coder, sysadmin and so on.
I own several companies and did lead technical teams.

Ask 100 developers with +5 yrs experience how they take notes and 90 percent will tell you, they use markdown.

Telling people here in this thread, who do know what they are talking about, they are 'whining' and to move to another product,
because there is a crucial missing feature in evernote does not help here.

When there is a reasonable demand for a feature that is highly liked in the coding sector, You provide it. Simple.
Or this is NOT a professional note keeping solution at all.

Those who take most notes are developers, coders, analists, software designers etc.
And the common way to do it, is using markdown. Final.

Have some maturity. It is not because You are 'Super Guru', you currently reach the skill sets of some
who post here. To say they are 'whining' is pretty rude, and Your arguments have no weight in this debate.

The lack of markdown is a very serious lack in the evernote product including a full multiplatform solution.
For years the community did request a Linux version as well.

Will you say they are 'whining' too ? 

I will tweet Your answer to show to a few K developers. So they can see the Evernote Super Guru attitude.
And they better stay away from this product.

You should have more respect for your customers. 

I will tweet Your comment to, hm I think a bout 1000 developers. If You ask them how they take notes, most will say MARKDOWN.

In stead of bashing to your customers Your team should better take notice the world is more then cut and past, and
taking notes for technicians, developers is mandatory and can barely done properly with Your approach due to the lack of Markdown support.
And those who do it, well good luck, but for sure you are not part of those who code for decades.

Besides is this the same ***** answer You will give to the request of a LOT of your customers to provide a NATIVE linux version of evernote ?

So in stead of telling your customers they are whining about asking something ESSENTIAL, move Your lazzy butt in your dev team and provide professional solutions.

This will suit your professional customers more then bashing them with poeha.
 

Most blogs, wiki etc are written with markdown. 
It is a bit simplistic to state it is just about an exotic  feature.

Upvoting a feature request is not a guarantee at all of implementation.
Look how long we have to wait for a linux version.

Evernote does not suit our needs to write technical docs, so we move to pure markdown editors and cloud sync.
Such as Haroopad or as said,  laverna that is currently our best option we did see so far.

Oh yes, we are premium user. But not for long anymore. You serve the demands of your clients or they leave.
 

We did switch to Laverna for most technical docs.
https://laverna.cc

It is multiplatform and it supports cloud sync and encryption.
However beware to store in the cloud your settings too.

We can not keep waiting on evernote who seems not to understand, some people need markdown for technical notes.

We do consider seriously to move to another solution either, due to many, many issues.

0. Storage and encryption

Simple cloud space, sensitive notes in combination with boxcryptor or cryptomator (opensource)  encrypted folders. Both has mobile versions.

1. To grab webpages

We found an extension for Firefox and Chrome, dotEPUB which is able to safe our pages to epub format ! So we are able to read them properly
in an eReader on a tablet if needed.

2. Wiki notes

Additionally we found Haroopad, a nice Markdown editor that supports multiplatform, as an app for OSX.  It works great. Code on the left, WYSIWYG on the right pane.
So for now we create our wiki in this great editor in .md format. Again we store them in cloud space.

Evernote is a hassle to write nice wiki in Markdown. Especially when You want to create technical wiki.

So we think we found a very good alternative to Evernote that is clearly not ready for multiplatform and as tool for developers who are in need to write
technical notes in a standard markup language.

3. Versioning

We currently look how to match in GIT to the story to version our notes with a repo. Things we lack too in Evernote.

Conclusion

So most likely a good bye to Evernote.

With due respect, taking into consideration in no way implies actual promise of implementation.

Altogether web apps still are and will be for some time the no-frills tools. 

Proper reformatting through the desktop (full) version is the common approach. 

I am sorry, customer is king. This is mandatory for coders. 
And I think a lot of them are your customers.

Currently I miss :

1. Sans Serif Type, Monospace font that shows properly my code snippets (like a slashed zero)
   https://dejavu-fonts.github.io/
2. Text folding
3. Paragraph styles (title, subtitle, paragraph, code)
4. Style/Template configuration on note level, including a way to set default Style/Template on notebook level and global level
5. Configuration settings on note level/notebook level and global level to disable automatic text replacement/formating
6. Inclusion of openpgp.js for additional security, to sign/encrypt/decrypt fully of partially text in our notes.
   https://openpgpjs.org/
7. configurable, line numbers inside our code snippets

I create a new thread for this on:
https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/106355-some-things-i-do-miss-badly/

Evernote premiun user. There are plenty of cross-platform languages, there is no excuse at all, there is no Linux Evernote.

If evernote values her customers, they should create a client that works on every OS, including Linux

Ok. I take the challenge.

Clean Ubuntu x64.

#uname -srmop
Linux 4.3.0-040300-generic x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

#sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa

#sudo apt-get update

#sudo apt-get install wine1.7 winetricks

Install Evernote_5.9.1.8742.exe for all users.

Results:

Could not connect to server.

Oh, and do not tell me I have to use wine 1.4 and playonlinux

 

I am senior developer. I have a huge amount of notes, ready to pull into Evernote.

But now I see this. No native linux client.

 

I did try to run the latest Evernote client with wine and I got after installation a complaint

from the client, I was not connected to the internet... Good start.

 

Actually it does surprise me to read those things about Evernote.

 

If this client is written in .net there is the MONO Framework and case solved.

 

It looks to be like this is the same issue we see SourceTree, a nice Git client, currently no Linux client !

 

With developer tools, well, of course You can get away with it.But Evernote is not only a tool for developers.

However, IT specialists are using linux and a lot of them do visit many customers with their recommendations !

 

May I say, currently, I will not recommend Evernote and I do look for alternatives, now I did read this thread !

 

Sorry guys, but this is amateurism.

 

Evernote is not written in .Net (I think version 4 on Windows was, but that is ancient history). It should work properly in Wine. In the past there where a few issues related to the openssl version used by your distro/wine. (https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/26978-ssl-handshake-problems/ ).

 

Anyway, it would be more helpful to further elaborate on the issues you encounter running in wine (version of Linux/distro, wine and Evernote for a start)
