The problem with evernote is not too many features.<p>The problem is the crap architecture behind its synchronization model that leads to a sub-par user experience.<p>Often times on iPhone it only syncs new hyperlinks added after I explicitly open the app.<p>The thing has no proper handling of simultaneous edits on different devices - leading to conflicts - after all these years with so many programmers there&#x27;s still no merging algorithm.<p>The versioning is based on taking snapshots every couple of hours last time I checked. For real??!<p>Is this the best a billion dollar company can do?<p>There monetization strategy is not coherently supported by their product implementation.<p>If business use and collaboration is what they aim to monetize - why such weak and limited features for that?
(Sharing notes are very basic, again the poor handling of simultaneous edits...)<p>Apple is mentioned as another company with many products - but the overwhelming majority of both specific products and specific features work really well.<p>The same goes for Google.<p>These companies don&#x27;t have to cover up for poor 5-10 strategy by pretending they are working of some mystical 100 year plan.
