New home screen is awful.

Everything is slow now.

No manual sync.

Devs don't listen.

Goodbye...time to switch to competition.

It won't be too long before heavy users will start looking for alternates as a back up plan. I started that process for the first time and I must say Nimbus looks like everything I want Evernote to be. So it can be done!

Long time user here.  I have already started looking for alternatives because I think this new version is marking the end of Evernote.  If they aren't going to cater to the power users, then they will lose to Google and Microsoft.  Thanks for the reference to Nimbus -- will check it out.

p.s. I can't believe the sync button is gone.  WTH!

edit:  Just tried Nimbus's web-app, windows app, Andriod app.  Am making the switch now....its kind of a no-brainer as long as the performance is still good after I load up 1600 notes.

I just wasted hours trying to figure out why the evernote installation on a new computer was so broken.  I just didn't get that you guys created a whole new version that was such an abomination.  I get that software needs to move forward and sometimes that move is painful, but this is unacceptable.  Where is the sync button?  Where is the options menu?  Why can't I configure it the way I want? 

There is no way this trash should be made available to paying customers. 

I for one, will start looking for an alternative.

Hmmm. You could probably work around this.

I use a 512MB Ram/8MB Shared Video Ram setting for my Windows VM. This is adequate for the few applications that I use in the VM. It is also adequate because Sqlite works well in low memory environments. More memory for the VM would be better, but, this setting is good enough.

Suggested workaround:

- Close VM via "Save Machine State" when not in use. Have the Windows client open but idle when saving.

- Close e.g Browser when you want to use the Windows VM. Most browsers can eat up 500MB without blinking an eye.

- Re-Start the Windows VM from the saved state. This takes less than 15 seconds on my system.

- Sync Windows client

- Work in Windows client until maintenance tasks completed

- Sync again to save changes to service

- Close (Save Machine State) VM again. Restart e.g. browser.

You also have the option of continuing to use the Nixnote client. It is functionally pretty complete and with your initially small database (you mentioned about 500 primarily text notes) should be fine for resource utilization.

Good stuff. I'll create a new VM of WindowsXP that is extremely stripped down so it'll run on 500MB or less of RAM (today mine take 1.5GB). Then I can start and stop from the disk suspend state...smart!

Yep. Note that I recently switched to 4.1 branch of Virtual Box. The 4.0 stable version was missing functions I wanted and the 4.1 version is getting very close to stable.

I love VirtualBox and agree that their ability to represent Windows apps as native in Ubuntu is getting VERY good. Unfortunately for me, I use Ubuntu for software development and between two browsers, a debugger, Maven, and Eclipse, I am already out of memory without even running a VM!!!

And no, the boss won't get me a new laptop....

+1 for a Linux client.

I've been on Ubuntu for the past two years and am very happy. I always wanted to try Evernote, but the lack of a native client held me back until I found Nixnote:

Its a nice app, but does any of your experts know if they'll be supporting Ubuntu, ChromeOS, or Linux in general with a nice client any time soon?
