#3If they go out due to bankruptcy/liquidation, the b'y trustee can "avoid" what(ever few) privacy and IP ownership protections that my exist in the Evernote EULA and sell all of your data AND identity to data brokers... after all what's more important than making the creditors whole?!?

Do you think porting data over is something that people might be interested in paying for on a subscription plan?

#5I guess before that happens, we should have all migrated to another tool - Microsoft OneNote being the closest competitor, having this tool at hand may make sense:

#6What usually happens in cases like these is that you get to download all of your notes in some format. This is what happened when google wave was taken down.

Google shuttering a product is a bit of a different thing than a company going out of business. It's a different pool of people in a different position dealing with different issues. I'd like to think they would do the same (right) thing, but I think that's a risky bet.

FFS Microsoft, let me pin my notebooks on the lefthand side of onenote for mac. The navigation when you have lots and lots of sections is horrendous. ESPECIALLY when you can't sort by name from the mac client. Regardless, scrolling left to right isn't natural with a keyboard and mouse when you've got literally hundreds of sections like I do (one per client).

not to sound rude but I don't think people who are concerned about their notes would move their precious notes to another not-yet-proven startup.
