If Evernote would just integrate tags better,in fact all of data accessability better I'd use it as a standalone. In most all tag centric apps the good ones have all notebooks tags listed with it (in various ways)...and theyre clickable...so they can actually function much more like subnotebooks. Many position their tags much like hashmarks at the bottom of every note in a Notebook. Additionally,being able to put notes in multiple notebooks also greatly helps cross UI connections of data. The network of connected data isnt connected very well to me in Evernote.. Note links are great but not economical like tags...nor are they available awith the Mobile clients.
