Better than OneNote how? Just curious what your perspective is on this statement. Many moons ago, I switched from OneNote to Evernote, back then OneNote did not sync to the cloud, Evernote did. Very simple reason to switch. Not that I've gone back to OneNote, but, I am using it for a very specific project to see what it is like as it has been so long. Definitely things in OneNote I really do like, such as the ability to place objects side by side with different formatting, can easily drag them anyplace in the note, I really like this. Then there are things I don't like, the UI, having to Open and Close notebooks individually, I had an issue with searching awhile back that I haven't tried again. But, compared to the new Evernote, my notes are always there no empty white note (Mac user) and it's not sluggish.
I understand overhauling the app but when core features just don't work, well, that is a problem.
