Never thought Evernote developers are morons, clearly there's brilliance in it. They simply have priorities and many things are improving drastically, that's why I came back to boost the signal of this. Especially since links took a step backwards recently and go to the web UI.
One could say, a person who seems to spend their whole life on the forum of a note-taking app and seems to reply to everything is exhibiting moronic behavior. I wouldn't say that though, but one might.
Linking "is" part of the future. Maybe not in the near-term for Evernote, I can live with it and thrive regardless.
