Note-taking and life-recording hybrid application blows OneNote out of the water.

Tried it and I don't get it. OneNote is completely freeform and mimicks the file cabinet metaphor. Evernote feels like a glorified Notepad that doesn't require one to hit Save. Tags? Why should I take the extra time to tag up all my content when just a normal text search will suffice? Maybe the problem is that I'm a longtime OneNote user and am having trouble making the paradigm shift, but I don't see how this will win me over. Plus, the startup experience of OneNote gives users much better guidance as to how it's intended to be used. I'm sticking with what I've got. Oh and they don't support IE6 yet which I don't like having to use but it's required by my IT department currently.

Where is the scanner integration? I've been on the beta, cant get an answer to my email questions, and for my money there are better paper and indexing packages from Scanit, and for full featured - Nuance.

I tried to contact the company when i was using EverNote 2 - no reply.

I ditched EverNote because their 'support' sucks an won't even think about spending the money for a pro account.

I haven't tried the product and probably won't. Call me old-fashioned, but I don't feel any pressing need to have my notes available from more than one computer and I DON'T LIKE the idea of having my notes on the Internet. I have no confidence in the ability of companies to keep the information on their servers safe from hackers and I don't wish to have to self-censor what I keep in my notes.I will stick with OneNote, thank you very much.

You don't have to sync your data to the web site; you can disable that feature.

I've been a user since private beta and I absolutely love this app. The search feature is the best. All I can say is; don't knock 'til you try it.
