This is a trojan horse post
With all the (mainly valid) concerns with v10 going around I feel like the product team at Evernote needs a little positivity - and I don't know where in this forum we go to compliment the team.
1. Performance
The performance across Mac devices (Mac, iPadOS, iOS) has anecdotally improved, massively. Searching for notes is quicker in iOS and iPadOS version and adding images to notes is much quicker in iOS now.
2. Live Sync
Live sync is a god-send for people that use their iPad to draw complex stuff on a separate app, and want to quickly copy/paste it over to the iPad evernote, then screen grab it instantly on their Mac version.
3. Filtering with tags
This is big school s**t.
Being able to filter in the search bar by a tag, and see the subset list of notes, then to be suggested the top 5 tags that are most paired with the tag already filtered ...bellissimo.
Also, once i've filtered by tags that exhaust options (i.e. adding any other tag would yield no results) I can no longer do further tag filtering. You might want to make that more explicit in the UI but in terms of of quality, I really like this.

Yes, there's lots that isn't quite there yet, and stuff you need to bring back. But, I can see how the decision to release across all Mac devices was taken. Keep fighting!
