I can't speak to how it used to be, and I don't work on a team. Evernote is my personal tool. Employer uses OneNote. I share when I need to share using work tools at work, but I hate OneNote for anything but sharing. Even if it's work related, but not shared it goes in Evernote. As of last time I used them a little over a year ago, OneNote mobile apps were a joke, they don't even compare to Evernote. The mobile apps and cross platform (I use 4), is what sold me on Evernote. I thought just about every major competitor had an import for enex if you're determined. Just saying from fresh eyes, it may not be what it used to be, but better than anything I've used previously; just picking on OneNote a little since it often appears to be the easy answer for MS users. For me some type of Linux support is essential.

Agreed. Like many others I'm locked into MS at work, but at home I'm mostly Linux. The only drawback to Evernote for me is no native Linux app, however the web client suffices when necessary, but I find the android app for my tablet and ios app to be more than sufficient; which is more than I can say for OneNote. I get a kick out of people saying onenote is free; it's fries with everything else you're paying a fortune to use. The thing that drove me to Linux many years ago was not being able to replace an OEM windows OS at no cost on a hard drive failure. Sure I could have had a backup (I did of data), but I didn't, still I wasn't paying twice. Years later, most of my home systems have been someone else's cast offs re-imaged with Linux.

I totally agree. Former OneNote user, my experience may be dated now, but OneNote never worked for me. Also, it may be a personal paradigm preference thing, but the free from nature of Evernote is what blows OneNote away for me. Searching isn't in the same league. At the time I was using OneNote mobile apps were useless.
