The current state of affairs baffles me. Just as Linux was gaining momentum and Ubuntu was becoming the universal choice for newcomers, the decision to withdraw Evernote seems utterly nonsensical. It's not a matter of whether the market share is substantial enough; history has shown that even when Mac was a newcomer, software thrived. The culprits here are the commercial OS vendors exerting undue pressure, and the suffocating grasp of patents that stifle Linux's growth.
In a world where technologies like Qt and Electron exist, uniformity should not be an issue. We have the tools and capabilities to create cross-platform applications effortlessly. For corner cases like Outlook Calendar and other such tools, one can easily employ non-proprietary formats, ensuring that data is accessible from anywhere, regardless of the operating system. This decision not only warrants rebellion but also highlights the unnecessary barriers that proprietary software imposes on the tech ecosystem.
