    • I don't want notebooks or folders anymore. ... I just want to write and forget until I need it again.

    You can do today without notebooks: Just stop using them. You can stuff everything into your default notebook, there is no limit to this approach.


    My notes are organized with minimal "notebooks or folders"    
    Evernote actually has no support for folders    
    instead, organization is based on Tag Methodology, with two fields in the note record; Notebook and Tags

    Migrating is basically impossible anyway. There is not one migration route that doesn't lead to unacceptable compromises and bring unfixable formatting bugs with it. Tell me if I am wrong.

    I didn't find "basically impossible", "unacceptable compromises" or "unfixable formatting bugs"   
    but it must be realized that some metadata will be lost when migrating to a new platform   
    (I converted to Devonthink, using the Evernote Legacy product, and without data from the new tasks feature)

    You left Evernote but your signature says legacy user.  I wonder which it is.

    Updated to ex-Evernote Legacy user   

    >EN offers a free tier and perhaps feel that us paying customers are subsidizing it? 

    That's my understanding of how it works, with the objective of converting to paying customers

    >but wonder how people might abuse the free tier

    Using the product with no intention of ever paying

    For everyone planning to stick with Evernote (as am I, for now), I'm curious as to how you would response to price increases and curtailment of the "free" tier.

    I left Evernote when they converted to the v10 product    
    For me, it was a lost features issue   
    I'm tolerant of price increases, but have always thought the "free" tier has been abused by many users
    imho  New users should get full access for only a limited trial period

    DEVONThink is self hosted ... It needs to be installed and run on a Mac, period.

    No, Devonthink provides both Mac and IOS client apps (Apple only)
    and data sync between devices   
    I use the product on my Mac Mini and iPad

    >The main database AFAIK needs to be hosted on a Mac

    No, databases are independent and can be located on any device

    Either app/platform can be used independently.    
    It's true that the Mac app is more full-featured than the IOS app

    What new owner is not going to say ...

    No idea what the new owners are going to say,   
    just as I have no idea what the previous owners say   
    Did we even know or care who the previous owners were?   
    I'm more interested in what Evernote's management team says.  So far, I've only seen the blog post from Ian Small

    Evernote is content with the humble note-centric view of the world. This, by itself, is not a problem.

    As a long term Evernote Legacy user; I can work with "note centric"  
    Sometimes, I need to store a single file, for example a PDF; I can store it as a note attachment file    
    Sometimes I need a document or a spreadsheet; I use an external editor, and again store it as a note attachment file 

    My point is that I use an external editor when I need features beyond simple note editing     
    I agree with @Dave-in-Decatur's comment, "What is minimal for some is superfluous to others."
