    A huge bloated app; jack of all trades, master of none

    I have no problem using multiple tools, but without much feature duplication.
    As an Evernote user, I would not be using Google Keep, Notion, G Drive

    Notes can contain file attachments in any format - this allows a lot of scope for content
    The Evernote editor is ok for basic notes.  
    I use dedicated editors for extended features.

    I understand the need for external filing for various reasons, including collaborative work.  
    I store a link in my Evernote note.

    I don't understand heavyweight Kanban To-Do Boards but I can see using an external dedicated tool
    I would not switch to an alternate filing system - is Notion really a heavyweight Kanban tool?

    I would argue that Evernote is still a master of none right now. It's not a must-have, and many other apps possess many of its features. If I had never used Evernote, I wouldn't have a hard time getting used to the workflow of alternative apps. Nor would I have a hard time migrating old Notes, which I'd been slowly migrating to MS Office and G Drive since year 2015.

    As for Notion being heavyweight, I might have confused by using the wrong term. I meant, better featured. Notion is okay for personal projects, as it has free advanced features like custom typed properties, calendar view, multi-view data, reminders, rich content formatting, nesting, sharing, unlimited workspaces/boards. Of course, if you compare it to Glo-board, GitLab, YouTrack, Trello, they have Assignees, Burndown chart, Git integration, Commit Referencing, CI/CD, Project Statistics, etc. But I wouldn't use them for hobbies, nor would i use them with non-techies. They also cost a lot more.

    Anyway back to the point, I was hoping Evernote would be able to measure up to competition against other note-taking/tracking apps. I do agree with you though, that if it is not feasible for Evernote to implement it without getting bloated (for various reasons, be it technical, funding, strategic), I would not want the Kanban feature to be in.

    looks like trello...

    You could also say that:

    • Evernote looks like OneNote...
    • Evernote drawings does the same thing as Google Keep drawings...
    • Evernote serves the same function as Google Drive/OneNote/Google Keep/Notion...
    • Evernote tasks is a weaker version of ToDoist/Notion Board...

    Getting Evernote to be like Trello isn't impossible. Notion had done it with their boards.

    I am currently using multiple tools together. But I do wish Evernote (or someone, anyone?!) could do it all. Then I wouldn't have so many apps...

    • Google Keep: Super responsive, lightweight, temp notes / simple lists
    • Evernote: Long-term, short-length, pretty notes / sketches
    • Notion: Heavyweight Kanban To-Do Boards
    • MS Office: Reports / Documents
    • G Drive: Collaborative Notes / Lists / Drawings / Reports
    • Like 3

    in Evernote for Android Requests (Versions 8.13.3 and under)

    It's been over 4 years since this feature was last suggested, it is the Top 10 most popular Android features. And in the long while since, I've unsubscribed from Evernote Plus due to the low value it provided.

    Ideally, Evernote shouldn't be used to annotate anything complex. This includes color formatting and tables. The viewing and writing format isn't good for long documents, and formatting is messed up between desktop/Android. Instead, use one of the heavyweights like Google Drive, OneNote, or even MS Office Online.

    EverNote is best for short-form notes/bullet points.
