I disagree that this is a "nice to have" feature...it's a basic function of every note-taking or word-processing app I've ever used. The word "note" is in the name of the product. I just made a pretty complicated numbered list using this simple text editor I'm typing in right now, going 4 levels deep and adding/removing lines throughout the list, and it performs better than the Evernote client. Is that irony? Maybe Evernote can just this editor instead.

It's not just the Web app where this problem occurs. I use the native Mac app, and it's a consistent and persistent issue. The problem seems to be that Evernote doesn't know how to count.

This problem has plagued me for years, and has been reported multiple times to Evernote in these forums, and I've yet to even see a response from anyone at the company. It's extremely frustrating, but seems to be a problem that Evernote neither cares to acknowledge or is determined to fix. It's not rocket science...I use any number of other note or word processing apps, and those apps seem capable of counting from 1 to 10 (or whatever number of items in my lists). When it's real bad (and with anything approaching a complex list, there's a better than 80% chance that it will happen), it gives me that, "Why am I paying for this again?" feeling... Do better, Evernote (if you're even listening).
