I tried to switch from Evernote to OneNote recently, but it just wasn't good enough... But there are still a large number of features which the new App (to be more precise, the PC version 10) does worse than the old. The most important one for me is that I use two different Evernote accounts, and need them both open at the same time. If they can't fix this, and force me to use their new, worse app, and increase their prices, then I will have to continue actively looking for a viable alternative. Any suggestions?

Thanks @gazumped 🙂 As I said in my previous message my main gripe is that the new interface is painfully slower than the old one. I'm a "power user" of a PC, I've been a software engineer since the early 1990s, I expect things to get faster and better with each iteration. I can see that visually they improved things in the step up from version 6. I never looked into it, but I suspect that that they re-engineered the whole GUI system from scratch based on a different underlying platform - I'm guessing the old one was written in C++ and the new one switched to some kind of Node.js / Browser object, so of course performance went through the floor. Someone, somewhere, won a big p*ssing contest in a boardroom and convinced them that the new solution would be better, but it wasn't. Not only was the new front end klunkily slow but they abandoned features that I loved (in particular import folders - I almost gave up on Evernote at that point) and somehow made the searching facilities feel worse. If I was a paid consultant working for them I'd write up a 10 page document highlighting all of these things in order of priority - but I'm not, and anyway I am sure that they know these things already... it's just that (I suspect) their new architecture has painted them into a corner, and they can't get out of it. Now I read that they've been acquired by an Italian mobile App firm. I guess it's a "watch this space" situation. I'm just glad that there's a CLI tool which lets you download your entire data set in a nice XML format - I've been doing that monthly for years in the expectation that one day this software will die and I'll have to migrate elsewhere. It's a bit like watching a slow speed car crash (the current situation at Twitter springs to mind!) I'm not really looking for performance tips because I think the problem is the platform itself. For reference I'm on a reasonably fast 3 year old i5 with 24Gb RAM and SSDs, running Windows 11 in a "light" way (I don't allow lots of third party services to run). If something like Evernote 10 can't perform well on this, it should have been quietly smothered at birth.

I'm still using Evernote 6 on my desktop PC (Windows 11) because the re-engineered versions are so much slower. It's all well and good making it prettier, but performance is more important. I'm used (in Evernote 6) to being able to drag email attachments from Outlook into Evernote as quickly as I can move the mouse. In Evernote 10 the app locks up for around 5-10 seconds each time while they are received/processed. It doesn't sound like a lot, but when a 2 minute filing session had become a 10 minute filing session I began to wonder whether it was time to find a different document storage system. Fortunately I found out that it was possible to downgrade to the faster , older version... My point/question is - is performance problem (and a number of others) a fundemental limitation of the new architecture, or is it something of which you are aware and that you expect to be able to solve when you get time to put some resources into it?
