I'm not sure of the Mac layout and terminology but in Windows the Elephant icon in the system tray links to the helper. Left click opens the scratchpad and that includes an icon of a computer screen. Click the icon to open the screen clipper to capture part of your screen to a note.

OMG - the old version it was right click the icon. Ok so a left click brings up the menu you describe with the scratch pad and a computer screen icon in the bottom left. When I click that computer screen icon, nothing happens, no capture event and no new notes appear in my Evernote account. 

All I need now is for that to work and I will be much happier.

I am on windows 10, EN 10.22.3

OK, let us take a look:

1) The EN Helper is active as soon as the app is started, including a quick note field and several clipping options.

2) Yes, import folders are now available in v10, on the Mac even for the first time

3) Design is design is design - whereas one can not cramp enough into every little corner, others prefer a nice, easy layout. Maybe look up „horror vacui“ in Wikipedia to read a bit about this in the history of Fine Arts.

4) Maybe you can tomorrow resize panels, whoever knows (wouldn’t this be a killer feature …)

5) Pen support was never a burner, so this does not disqualify v10 compared to legacy. It still is no great experience. I simply use another app, thank you, works just fine. Handwritten note taking is a whole segment in its own right, feeding several apps crafted around this one feature. I don’t expect a general use app like EN to perform in each aspect as good as the specialist players in that field.

6) The thumbs exist, maybe they take a few seconds to load when you scroll fast.

I could continue with some aspects, but I won’t. Everything (everything !) you had in 6.25 is still available, simply install legacy. It installs and can be used in parallel to v10, no problem there. 

And maybe have the courtesy to add a list of those things that did not exist in the legacy clients, and you have got them now, thanks to v10. Maybe they are not important to you - but for the group of users in general they are, a pick from them for everybody, and for everybody something different. 

Thanks,

Some follow up.. 

1) Where is the EN helper invoked from? Sounds good, don't know about it.

2) Great

3) Yep.

4) Let's hope

5) But it is EverNOTE, and the searching of handwritten text works extraordinarily well, so it is a shame to not be able to write with a stylus in the new note compose panel. All they need to do is add support for that rather than having to invoke another "sketch" entry panel. None of the other note taking apps work as well in terms of cross platform (and hand written search) like Evernote does, so they really should capitalize on these two large advantages they have.

6) Nope, older ones of mine (more than say 1 year) NEVER appear, no matter how long I wait

Thanks!

@EverNote please take note of point 5 if nothing else!

I haven't thought to put it all down but things I miss(ed) are.

1. The windows clipper (used to be able to right click on the Evernote icon and clip anything from the screen into Evernote with no issues)
2. The auto folder import (this is back - but was missing for over a year)
3. The clean layout (now when I open the app on my windows PC I am presented with so much b/s I can't think! What the f is scratch pad? Why are more than 50% of each note thumbnail just empty space , and the thumb of the note part is so small proportionally.
4. Why can't I resize the panels? Like when I am in votes view, the new note space is 50% and the list of thumbs on the left is 50%, but why cant I drag the bar to see more thumbs? I can drag it to make the note thumb area smaller, but not larger.
5. I have an MS Surface PC with a Pen, a Samsung Note with a Pen, and an iPad with a pen, yet I can't hand write in the note compose window with any of them! Why? Evernote does an awesome job of reading handwritten notes (so I can search them), but it wont let me write them!
6. Thumbs are broken, when I scroll down a few pages in my notes view - all the thumbnails, instead of showing my notes, are just white boxes with Grey paper Icon in them.  The notes themselves are fine, but I have no previews.

FYI I have 8,365 notes dating back to April 2010.

I am leaving also, after 11 years as a premium user.

I used to love Evernote, but I simply jsut can't stand it now - everything is so complicated, unstable, difficult and frustrating.

Really sad, and like the OP, I have never witnessed a product go from being so awesome to so hopeless. How did this happen?
