Thank you so much for reviving this old thread. Based on the info in that blog post, I'll be looking for a new notes app after over a decade of happy Evernote usage. I"m already paying $50/year for Plus, and the features they're talking about rolling out aren't interesting to me. (Less complicated app = more productivity for me.) So I really appreciate the tine you took, Dave-in-Decatur, to comment. The fact that you can't comment on that blog post is telling, I think. Ugh. Here's a decent article on alternatives, for anyone else that might be in the market now: https://www.pcmag.com/picks/ditching-evernote-here-are-your-top-alternatives

I'm having the same duplicate note issue--but I only ever have Evernote open on one device at a time. Pretty much every time I edit a note on my phone, it creates one or more duplicates for me to sift through the next time I open my laptop. The wrinkle in this for me is that live content syncing is a solved problem in the software world. And a well-solved one, at that. With something as comparatively simple as Evernote, I'm scratching my head on the lack thereof. If Evernote isn't in offline mode, live updates are what's expected from users, and what other services have been doing for a good while now. Or, lacking that, a popup that asks if you want to update to the latest version before you edit something. This issue is both a time suck and a source of data loss---both deal killers for any reasonable user. I tried out MS ON a while back, and didn't like it all that much. But, if it manages my data well, and avoids these kinds of antiquated data management issues, I might have to migrate over. Sigh.
