Perhaps ironically, Evernote alienated thousands of power users when they did their big 2.2--&gt;3.0 rewrite a few years ago.  Evernote 2.2 on desktop (+ the browser extension) was tremendously awesome, and then they rewrote the whole thing in .Net and basically made the desktop client a webview, in the process removing about 90% of the features people loved while causing all the sync and stability problems people are still complaining about.<p>I want to love Evernote because having a centralized, cross-platform, easily searchable repository for both binary content and text is hugely powerful, and there aren&#x27;t really any viable competitors in this space.  But, I don&#x27;t trust the company and I don&#x27;t trust the product, so I won&#x27;t use it, and I&#x27;ll stick with several different other products that together mostly fill the same use cases for me.  One of those is Google Drive, but it&#x27;s even clunkier than Evernote (although sync works great!).
