I'm with virtually everyone on here.. This update is horribly bad. Additionally Evernote has been so slow, prone to hanging for that past couple of years it's pushed me to seriously exploring other solutions. I've been an Evernote user since 2011, after reading David Allen's getting things done, I wanted to get organized and as per his suggestion develop a trusted system.
Since then I've used Evernote heavily. I had around 32,000 notes, including loads of clipped articles I wanted to save for potential research, I blew all that out by downloading then deleting the notebooks I don't need frequently and that did not result in a much speedier user experience.
The only conclusion I can come to from that, is that the application is deeply flawed and with the recent changes, it's also now almost unusable. Many like myself put our trust in Evernote that it would be a reliable system for organizing content we wanted to retain in something of a digital file cabinet. I don't have the trust any longer and I'm deeply uncertain that Evernote understands why the app is important to people.
While Evernote might be able to fix some of the usability issues, I'm not confident it can earn back the Trust so many of us placed in it.
