If you are storing important info in Evernote, think twice
There are many horror stories on the web of users losing their data.  I thought it was already well known that Evernote software cannot be trusted.  Recently, two HN users made comments about data loss[1][2].<p>I'm baffled that users continue to trust it.  I do understand that it's a slick product with nice features but if it fails the <i>primary</i> purpose (save the data <i>and also retrieve it</i> later), the GUI bells & whistles are meaningless. (Example[3].)  In other words, programming a flashy drag&drop tool that saves data to /dev/null negates the point, right?<p>Personally, I've been using ASCII text files as "notebooks" for 20 years and have never lost a thing.  Understandably, that workflow is not usable for mobile devices and cloud sync.  For the folks that can't use text files, is there really no other alternative product to Evernote that has a reliable track record for <i>saving</i> the customers' data?<p>[1]<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7010258" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7010258</a><p>[2]<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7010558" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7010558</a><p>[3]<a href="http://jasonkincaid.net/2014/01/evernote-the-bug-ridden-elephant/" rel="nofollow">http://jasonkincaid.net/2014/01/evernote-the-bug-ridden-elep...</a>
