I followed this thread because I am yet another user considering to migrate away from EN just because of this issue (I am generally very happy with EN). What I don't understand is that EN cannot sync a single document automatically a few seconds after each edit. Maybe they want to reduce their cloud infrastructure costs. I get conflicts on a regular basis editing trivial text documents on either my Mac or my iPhone (nothing happening concurrently, devices always connected to the internet). Since there's no git-like conflict resolution ui and I basically have to copy both notes into a text file and do manual diffs to merge them by copying and pasting, this is a very expensive process and all the productivity gained through the use of EN goes out the window.
Please EN:
Put some more thought into making it less likely that this happens, e.g. more intelligent syncing (if a general sync for every change is too expensive, use some heuristics that at least for trivial small notes this is done at a finer granularity)
Invest some effort into a conflict resolution strategy other than just copying for anything but very small docs this doesn't work (if you do #1 well, maybe you don't need #2)
I'm also looking at alternatives and I am currently testing using Google keep for simple checklists and Google docs for more complex documents where I need formatting. It's a shame. EN is exactly what I need functionality-wise but this defect defeats its purpose.
