I don&#x27;t think the &quot;5% problem&quot; is a problem for Evernote. To be honest, I don&#x27;t think the 5% problem is a real problem for anyone other than designers and programmers.<p>Everyone bitches about too features until they need something. Evernote&#x27;s tagging capability and ability to capture, categorize and find information on all major platforms is best in class. They bolt on lots of features because people use that core function for lots of stuff.<p>Example: My sister used the Evernote web clipper to gather research for a big school project. She used tags to organized and had todo lists, etc linked to the subjects and cross-references.<p>Example 2: A friend did what my sister did, except the research was embedded in something like 40,000 pages of scanned paper that was OCR&#x27;d, annotated, etc. All in Evernote.<p>At it&#x27;s most useful, Evernote is something that you use for everything. The problem is <i>it&#x27;s not reliable</i>. It&#x27;s too easy to lose data, and impossible to get data out.
