Thank you sespy, this is the best description of the problem that I have read so far! As an Evernote user, the product is not fulfilling my need re: flexible clean use of text created in Evernote, outside the app environment. It’s a reason that I have not converted from user to customer. I think that's the case for a lot of folks in tech (it sounds like — I don’t work in tech I work at a business school). It is too bad from a customer segmentation perspective. As a user, I write a lot of grants and training documents. Recently I started using Evernote more heavily in writing those documents, and then copying and pasting the content elsewhere, into online forms for example. It really doesn't work well when a user wants to write text in a note and then move that writing somewhere else, due to the formatting issue. Taking an Agile perspective, if this user story is part of the product management / dev roster for this new roll-out, one way to incorporate this user story *might* be to build an internal tool for converting note text into stripped out text for use elsewhere in a reliable way, just-in-time. It’s the step of having to open yet another app in order to do this that is a large part of the friction, and the unreliability for the user. The dev team wouldn’t have to make all notes default to plain text. It sounds like they can’t anyway. Given that, a reliable, internal step just-in-time would be great. Flexible clean text was the original purpose of a notes app. To me the advantage and appeal of Evernote has always been the potential for this, combined with the nested folder structure and technical ability to sort/search/collaborate, and now integrate with the web. That’s where it gets power. All of this doesn’t happen without, at some point, plain text. It would be great to keep a connection. It's a big job to integrate 5 apps. We will see how the trade-offs cut or balance in this new roll-out. Curious to see what happens next. That is all. Thanks everyone for being civil. I’ve seen some really flamey threads on this topic elsewhere, taking me back to 1998 BBS times.
