Another one here forced to update from legacy. Years ago they removed the "Open with..." menu option when right-clicking an image inside a note, and that was what made me go with legacy as such option is a very basic one when you use Evernote as a tool for visual content, ux, inspiration, photography, moodboard, etc... because 99% of my content are plain notes with a single image.
So I tried to be open minded about it this time and I was ready to go out of my comfort zone and "relearning" how to use again one of my main work tools. The thing is that the new thumbnail preview size make useless that good intentions for me (and every visual content user, I assume). I don't know what the ux/product team tried to achieve when changing thumbnails to that ridiculous size, but a couple of things are very clear for me:
1. They don't have visual content users on mind.
2. No ui/ux designer, visual designer, art director, etc... working at Evernote atm, use their own product for design repo, inspiration, etc... purposes.

So what's the thing here? Has Evernote surrender to Pinterest, Notion, Muzli, Savee and Eagle on visual content and drop off on designers?
As my company has been centralizing for years around Notion and is my other non-design main tool, I've been testing it since Monday as a replacement for Evernote and so far I'm stunned at how they managed visual content:
I will keep an eye on Evernote time to time as it will take me weeks if not months to import all my notebook structure into Notion (25k notes) but reading all the latest comments here about the team being small/slow on implementing updates and feedback when not directly ignoring very common sense issues and requests, it gives me almost zero hopes about they addressing this.
What a way to sink a Top 1 product a decade ago...
