The blog posts are intended to be an objective description of my experience, so that others can decide for themselves whether the effort is worth it to them - and perhaps avoid a few pitfalls. And to give people a little real world data to estimate the effort required - something I couldn't find online when I started this.
It was never intended as a sell job for OneNote.
For me, Dark Mode is a deal breaker. And I assume it's pretty important to anyone else reading this thread. I have concluded that Dark Mode on Windows is unlikely to appear anytime soon - in particular, before my hacked Evernote executable stops working. I could be wrong. But, like I said, it's a deal breaker for me. I cannot use a retina-burn-white background, and I decided to get it over with while my hacked version is still working and I had some free time to work on it.
And, so far, I'm quite happy with OneNote. It feels comfortable already. And I can use my SPro and pen as a tablet - even record voice sync'ed to the content. It has replaced Livescribe for me. For me, it was worth the time I invested. Others may make different tradeoffs. The blog posts were intended to help people make that tradeoff.

Agreed. I was a EN user a while back, switched to ON because an employer blocked EN. But I find ON a little slower/kludgy, even if otherwise they're the same. However I can sync across all my devices in ON for free, and as mentioned, it already has dark mode. I was about to upgrade to a paid EN to test it again, but now that I see there is no Dark Mode even promised for Windows.... this is just ridiculous. My eye health is not negotiable. I've lost most of my night vision already, and I simply cannot use white background apps anymore, period.
Dark Mode for Windows
