Helps to specify the platform that you're referring to. The em-dash thingy doesn't appear to occur on the Windows client. Otherwise, I agree that this sort of behavior should be off in a code block. Upvoted.

Are there any other view types?

In a number of Evernote scenarios, adding a reminder to a note will "pin" it to the top of its note list (including when you are viewing it in notebooks). I use reminders for this purpose.

This also works in the Windows client.

You should post a feature request for what you want in the Product Feedback appropriate to your chosen mobile device.

You didn't mention which Evernote client you are referring to (Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, web), but in the Windows client, you get an "Are you sure?" prompt when you try to delete either a notebook or a tag (the latter is distinct from removing a tag from a particular note). Notes from a deleted notebook are moved to the Trash, where it's pretty easy to identify them.

My standard take on this is to look at my coffee bill (~$10/week) and my Evernote bill (~$1.35/week). Pretty easy choice for me, given that I use Evernote every day at work, and nearly as much at home...

This is specifically not true. You may install Evernote on as many devices as you please. There is a limitation of Basic accounts in that you can have two devices active (that is syncing to that account) at one time; if you want to use a third device, you'll need to deactivate one of your two active devices. Please see: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/218558068-Devices-FAQ Again, the statement "you can only have one desktop installation with the free version" is not true. Also, Evernote isn't breaking the web version to drive more people to the paid versions, though I'll grant you that they don't seem to putting a lot of effort into updating it to be more competitive with the desktop applications; I think that that is unfortunate. I don't use it all that often, but I do occasionally, and I've never encountered any "white screen of death" (accessing both a free account and a paid account, though I also use Chrome, not Firefox); it's hard to tell what's going wrong in your case. But many paid users also use the web application; there's just no reason for them to break it. Regardless, what gazumped said is absolutely true: the desktop applications are much more fully featured than the web client (and the mobile apps, too, for that matter).

Cute, but that's a "no" on both counts. They stopped making wallets and backpacks quite a while ago, which you'd know if you visited the Evernote market. #snarkfail

Well, this post exists in an Evernote for Android subforum. If you wish to request it for some other OS, then you should make a feature request in the Product Feedback forum appropriate to your desired device (but do please try a forum search first, in case it's already been requested).

Sure about that? Did you read this post and the one that follows in the previously linked topic?

Don't expect time-frame estimates from the Evernote folks; they rarely give them out.. As @csihilling says, they've taken a step forward in the Windows client with on-demand syncing. You can learn more about what that entails in this topic (in particular look for kvitekp's comments):

Moving to Android feature request subforum

Good to hear it. I like pinned reminders (at least in the Windows client) because the reminders list can be closed, and it can be sorted independently of the note list it appears over, including arbitrary user-chosen ordering.

If you're not already, you should be using the voting control up at the top left of the topic header, rather than inserting a "+1" post (particularly if that's the only content you're posting).

Do reminders "pin" in the Mac client? They do in some note views of the Windows client, and that works well for me.

Lack of action doesn't mean that they don't take it seriously. As the forum header says:

All I know is that's the intent here (per the forum description), and it makes a certain amount of sense to me. And added into that is the understanding the Evernote staffers do read all posts, so sure, it's all feedback of a sort. But not all feedback is alike in kind. The kind of feedback intended for Feedback subforums is for product suggestions and improvements. With respect to the idea that "if there's a problem, we must not have explained it well enough", I don't fully agree. Anyone experienced in software development understands deeply in their bones that no matter how clear your documentation is, people won't read it, or no matter how clean and simple and helpful your UI is, some people's conceptual knowledge won't quite match up. Moreover, with a product that's to some degree open-ended, as Evernote is, there are many ways to use it (a good thing), but it can take time to understand the pluses and minuses of particular approaches. And since this is a community forum and not an official support forum, that's where we, as a community of Evernote users, can step in. All of that's not to say that if someone reports a problem using Evernote, that that can't serve as an implicit improvement request. But the feedback forums are intended for explicit improvement requests.

Many posts are asking for help, either for ways to use Evernote better, or with specific problems that they've encountered using Evernote. The feedback areas are set up for making suggestions about features to add to Evernote; see the quote at the head of the forum: Bug reports can be kinda in between, and people who can move posts around will sometimes move posts to whichever forum type seems appropriate (this power is based on post count., I believe). In addition, Evernote employee moderators can merge similar requests into a single topic, to try to keep things consolidated. This topic here is clearly a feature request; as it does seem to be cross platform, it probably does belong in the global Evernote Feature Requests forum.

That's cute, but I doubt that Evernote actually wants to be a democratically run company. Not that democracy is showing all that well at the moment, mind. But the Kickstarter thing could perhaps fund a small development staff to build that client separate from Evernote, which would be the Linux way, right? Or at least support Nevernote, I suppose. ?? If you send me the $70, I'll be happy to start on the design...

Start here: https://dev.evernote.com/doc/ Gee, $70 is going to go a long way towards funding development staff to build your Linux client, bro.

Moved to feature request forum so users can vote on it directly. Should be merged with other identical requests.

BTW, I'm not wholly unsympathetic here, I've just seen this movie script before, and it doesn't seem to turn out like it's written down. We'll see about the Win 7 thing (for sure, some users will go elsewhere), but my guess is that for most casual users and for most workplaces, changing over to Win 10 is a lot lower bar to jump over than changing over to Linux (or even Mac).

Assumptions are worth their weight in gold (how much does an assumption weigh?). So-called "Gurus" receive that designation by post count alone. You could be one, too. Nope. As DTLow said. I'm an Evernote user, just like you. I'm not paid in any way to be here. You have opinions, I'm allowed to have opinions, too; I thought that your initial post was overcritical, and somewhat underinformed, with its accusatory language like "manipulative", "misleading", "bury complaints", etc.. I disagree with those characterizations; my experience with Evernote has been way different. Note that I don't think that every piece of information about using Evernote is easy to find, but finding out the information you were seeking was extremely easy, via some fairly standard approaches. *shrug* Actually, Evernote is a relatively small company, with over 100 million users. The amount of time and money Evernote has available to do 'X' is opaque to us. But yes, of course feedback is welcome. Even better, though, informed feedback presented in a positive way is usually even more welcome. Anyhow, you have the information you sought, so I'll step aside.

Should not have to tell people to Google things that aren't immediately evident. Also, from the Evernote home page (evernote.com), the "Plans" link at the bottom of the page takes you directly to the plan comparison page. Like it or not (and I'm not wholly in favor myself), that's a common model for application web pages: the splashy stuff up fron at the top, the details down at the bottom. It's a paradigm that's useful to learn.
