I wonder what are your afterthoughts onNimbus Note. I found it a great solid candidate to replace Evernote. It is not perfect, but in my opinion it looks and feels much better than EN v10. There are at least another thread about it, but i'd like to summarize differences.
These are just some pros/cons I have noticed after two days of using Nimbus (there are a lot more of course). I am using Pro version of Nimbus.
Pros:
beautiful simple interface (apart from snippets view, see below)
much faster than Evernote (tested on macOS, ipadOS, iOS and Windows)
great easy-to-use editor (i my opinion way better than the one from EN)
nest folders (subfolders) for notes to any depth,
you can set colours to folders and notes (good way to highlight important items)
you can select any image from the note as a thumbnail preview
instant internal linking (just type "@" and search/select from pop-up menu - amazing!)
ability to provide internal link to any block within a note (what a great little thing!)
code block with language-specific colour highlighting
workspacelevel (great for switching between i.e. home and work, up to 5 workspaces in Pro)
single attachment size up to 1GB
lots of tiny features (like captions for images, note preview when hover over internal link, etc.)
Cons:
EN has way better snippets view (see below)
no annotations for images,
no annotations for PDF files,
no sketching / no pencil input support (I don't care about this issue sinceNotabilityis my app of choice for handwriting notes/sketches),
flat (non-hierarchical) tags,
no voice recording support on desktops (Windows/macOS)- edit: desktop EN doesn't have this feature either, my bad
no built-in player for voice and video recordings (they exist as attachments - m4a and mov respectively)
on mobile devices no instant search (and SERP is on another tab)
maybe I'm wrong but I can't find geolocation info (according to product info there should be "Notes Geotagging")
it seems to me that synchronisation is slower than in Evernote (but it might only be my case)
Migration process:
pretty decent import (much more reliable than the import tool for OneNote)
missing thumbnail preview in snipets list (I had to manually select desired image in each note and set it as preview - which was pain in the...).
Snippets view compare:
Nimbus:
While migrating from Evernote you can try Nimbus Pro for free for one month (which is great since free version is limited to 2x50 = 100 notes).
Maybe there are users on this forum who are using Nimbus for some time and can share some thoughts with us? As for nowI am very happy with Nimbus- but maybe there are some deal-breaking disadvantages that I simply can't see right now.

Welcome to automatic processes - I don't think anyone has taken a specific decision to continue pushing a faulty release, it's just that any release gets promoted to all users. Evernote seem to be working as hard as they can to get everything in line, but this is a big step. With almost as many users around the world as there are people in the US, Evernote is like a very large oil tanker going full speed ahead. It's going to take an awful lot to make it change direction...
Evernote is basically a separate corporate owned (I guess) by various venture capitalists. There haven't been any recent changes that we're aware of...
I'm moving, too. I spent at least two full days trying to get this newer and improved version of Evernote to work for me, and now I'm fed up. I used Evernote constantly and told people it was the best thing since sliced bread. Unfortunately, that is no longer true, and I cannot recommend it to anyone else like I used to do.
Evernote vs Nimbus Note - is it worth to switch to?
