I do have an exit strategy (and daily backups) in case v10 does not fit my requirements, and while I very much hope Evernote will get its act together soon, I'm not bound to the Evernote eco-system. This last does not seem likely (and may not be possible) for some considerable time. I'll continue doing that until either 1) I'm very sure that version 10 is the equal of the older versions or 2) Evernote withdraws access to their servers for the old version. I most emphatically do NOT need the extra stress of learning a new set of menus, features and new drawbacks on top of doing my existing day job.

I'm also currently using the 'old' Windows 6.25 and Android 8.33 versions because I'm very aware of their shortcomings, and I can work around them. It will be a judgement call whether it's worth it to endure the extra actions and learning curve required for a migration and 'serious' use.

But bear in mind that no software is perfect, and there will always be claims that a new app is 'better than the rest'. If doesn't suit your needs, then of course you should look around. Whether those operations are suitable for your particular purposes is a purely personal decision. We do know that a very large number of people have downloaded and installed the software - and by 'large' I mean somewhere around the total number of Windows 10 users - which is a user-base that all software companies (except Facebook and Apple) would cheerfully kill for.Įvernote is pretty much guaranteed enough of an an active user base to fund its day to day operations for the forseeable future. Evernote do not discuss their finances or their future plans in public, and no-one has any 'special' knowledge of their deliberations. IMHO this is all going to be pointless speculation.
