Listened the users? OK. The first time I hear that one. And who are these users? I never got an invite to express an opinion. These users who wanted dashboard did so because they wanted Evenote to look different.  Why do they even bother to keep using Evernote if there's no shortage of products with the type and feel of interface similar to how the new dashboard is setup. The only way out of the dashboard fiasco I can imagine is for Evenote look to exit the market before it looses all it old glory and sell it to the highest corporate bidder that will keep it for 2 years around before shutting it down. Like Salesforce did with Quip and have to sign up on their Salesforce platform. That's the way things are now. They don't specialize and don't diversify successfully either.  They don't even bother to do the very simple way to market the product - win users trust - how .. for example by introducing privacy features like robust encryption. Don't people want privacy for information in Evenote?  I have my whole life there.  One of the reasons I am hesitant to even sign up for subscription is because I don't want to leave any trail behind. I constantly scan the database to see if I didn't upload in error credit card numbers or passwords and such or other personal information I would perhaps call a confidential diary. There was time I used to pay Evenore subscription with gift cards but it's costly to maintain.  Anywayd, they are totally messed up and if they would listen to it users they wouldn't have come with the dashboard so pathetic and if they want to try things new , ok, do it, but do it after you fix the other mess first.  And do it so that I don't get interrupted in the way I am used to do things.  

It's clear that this is a company in decline. Apple introduced several features today that will hasten that demise. That's what Evernote gets for not listening to the users. I've been with the service for years, but I have turned off subscription autorenew.

The addition of the Home screen (and that users are forced to use it) is a bug. Please log this as a SEV1.

Evernote team - can we see a "Legacy" build that works on the M1 Macs? Many of us don't want to upgrade to v10 as long as it uses Electron.

It's simple. There have always been 2 tiers. They should offer this new version as the totally free one. And the Legacy version as the one we pay for. And in present circumstances, I think we'd even accept a hefty price hike.

So the price for being a free user is that you get a buggy and bloated experience with less fidelity?

Temporarily - means 'not permanent',  and the statement is not a "threat".  They're going to do something at some point which may or may not require you to find another provider.  Hardly a crisis.

My estimate is at least 11 months

Right, but the point is no one has to panic today

Also, before the Legacy product sunsets I will have completed switching services
I may chose Version 10; the work-in-progress will be advanced by then

If the future is Electron, then there's nothing they can do to fix the situation. It's a regressive steaming pile of bugs and sloth.

No Evernote clearly states the following:

” This version is only temporarily available while we work to bring a few of the legacy features to our new apps.”

I guess I'll only temporarily be a customer then.

Folks, the problem here is that the Evernote development team unwisely chose to essentially wrap the Evernote web page in Electron. Ask them why they need code to support Xbox joysticks in Evernote. I bet they can't come up with a good reason.

You can still download the legacy version of our apps here and have them installed side by side:

You say "legacy," I say "functioning." Electron is a non-starter. Long-time customer now looking to migrate.

edit  This is the best news I've seen; we can install a legacy version, and run side-by-side with v10

Let's be honest. Electron is a game changer, for the worse. I've been using Evernote for years, but now I will try to re-install the old version until I can migrate off.

This article sums up the problem nicely: Electron is Flash for the desktop. Why does a note-taking program need code for Xbox 360 controllers? That is the definition of bloat.
