    then move them ... to their own notebook

    For those who organize notes using notebooks, this is a hardship;    
    they have to upset their organization, just to get offline access on mobile devices   
    I support this request for tags specifying offline access
       
    Personally, I organize using tags    
    My use of notebooks is to indicate; offline access / sharing / local (legacy)

    for me, i'm just thinking to go to legacy because I want to use it in alfred. Seems a bit odd that amazing integration was lost.

    I don't think Legacy can be considered a viable product; it's sun has set 🙁
    Loss of integrated scripting (Applescript) was my reason for converting from Evernote to Devonthink

    I use a SaaS solution called You Need A Budget and again, that works super well for me. I see no reason to try to move that function into Evernote.

    Evernote Legacy was my Digital File Cabinet
    All my financial transactions were stored/organized as notes   
    tagged as required.    

    For budget/expense reporting, I export the data to a spreadsheet (Apple Numbers)
    YNAB is a great product, but I like the diy flexibility of a spreadsheet with integrated scripting (Applescript)

    I don't currently feel I have a use for tags but am open to suggestions

    I'm a tagger    
    Historically, tags have been Evernotes primary organization tool    
    with notebooks used to identify notes for sharing, offline, local (legacy), ...     

    For me, the most important benefit is that multiple tags can be assigned to a note   
    Notes are restricted to a single notebook assignment   
      
    fwiw  I don't use nested tags    
    I reflect hierarchy in tag names for example:    
    Budget  
    Budget-Housing  
    Budget-HousingRent  
    Budget-HousingUtilites  

    >I recent culled roughly 2,500 notes down to about 170

    I have over 20,000 notes   
    That number is well short of causing any issues,   
    and "culling" is not a priority for me

    personal organisation including finance dat

    I've always stored financial transaction data (income/expense) along side my other personal data
    I even use monthly transaction files from the bank to ensure every transaction is included    

    >So the user setup the "Finantial Labels" following his finantial accounting labels

    I use tags; Budget-aaaaaaaa with something similar to your set of names   
       
    >My difficulty is to sum-up after several months the amount of each expense class....hates very complicated applications such as spreadsheets   

    I enjoy using spreadsheets for my budget/expense reports   
    It gives me freedom from the restrictions imposed by dedicated financial apps    
      
    Back when Evernote supported integrated scripting, I used an Applescript to export my financial data to a spreadsheet

    Each task should be it's own note

    This is how I've always handled project/task management

    Also as a note, we're able to add tags (another user request)   
    I assign a project-id tag to link tasks to a project

    >When I create a new task, Evernote should create a new note

    i do the reverse; first create the note then assign as a task

    Suddenly SpannerCo come along, wrench (ahahah) it from my hand and force on me a bright, shiny ....

    I was a long time Evernote Legacy user
    There was no "wrenching it from my hand"; no "force on me"      
    I continued using the Legacy product, and understand it's still functional today

    I did try out the "bright shiny" v10 product for no cost   
    But decided it wasn't the tool I needed

    Evernote abandoned users like me

    Evernote has not "abandoned users"   
    Accounts are still supported; client software is still functional (Legacy and Version 10)   
       
    >... 10 years worth of Evernote data locked into some odd XML format with no way out.

    The data formal is enml; basically html  
    I had no problem exporting my data
    (using my Mac and the Legacy client software)

    What goals do you achieve with your EN structure?

    The access and retrieval of specific data; text search also works

    For tasks, I used Evernote for simple goal/project/task management 
    Identifying outstanding tasks and their due dates (GTD stuff)
       
    For receipts and financial transactions; budget and expense reporting

    >Also, I am wondering if your use of the word "classify" is synonymous with me using "qualify"

    Sure   
    I think of qualify more as - 
    be entitled to a particular benefit or privilege by fulfilling a necessary condition.

    I use Tags to qualify the Notes.

    I used Tags to classify notes   
    I used Notebooks to identify notes as shared/offline/local (legacy)

    >And my GTD setup has Notes in one of three states - Action Pending, Action Completed, and Reference Material.   

    I used the Reminder feature to identify tasks   
    Reminders also have built-in due-date and completed status/date
