Good luck struggling Evernote ....
Simplenote is great except it's text only.
Wikis are nice, except the friction to add and retrieve is too high.
So I'm kind of stuck. I don't use Evernote very often (10-15 times per year), but when I do it does what I need it to do.
I would rather use a self-hosted solution though. I'm still uneasy with the idea of all my information being on the cloud and scanned by the NSA.
But Evernote was just a jumbled repository were information went to die. I didn't _use_ Evernote in any productive sense except as a "dump and purge" place.
So I downgraded to Basic. Lost the ability to email notes to Evernote. This was my most-used method of sending things to Evernote. The loss of "email to Evernote" capabilities didn't matter.
I used Evernote less.
Now this downgrade. I suspect that for me this will highlight how little Evernote means in my workflow.
Here's the thing. The amount they want for Premium is trivial. And yet I don't even see the value of Evernote at its modest price -- after 4 years of subscribing.
Sorry Evernote. I want to love you but I can't find a way to do it.
