The main draw Evernote has for me is the ability to attach an arbitrary number of files to a note, add some additional text or a useful title, and then search on those notes across iOS and OS X devices. I've been increasingly frustrated by how buggy and complicated Evernote has gotten so I'd be happy to try alternatives that might be out there.
What alternatives are people using for Evernote that support more than just text?

That's great and I genuinely hope that it works for you. The point I was making was that there was no point. Text files and an ftp server are arguably as good, but ultimately meaningless in relation to the article.
I don't think I understand your point. Google Keep works offline, it has seamless syncing when it is online and I can access it from all my devices (including my phone). I guess you don't consider a Chrome App to be a "real" native app and that somehow makes it different for you, but I don't see any meaningful distinction.

I wonder if people absorbing this fact would also start recognizing that basing yourself in SF is a pretty good way to shoot yourself in the foot cost-wise. You could probably open 3 different offices in 3 other metropolitan areas for the same cost as your SF office.
Yup. I used to belong to a non-profit which had its headquarters in Milpitas (just checked, and it still does). Several years ago, they radically changed their fee structure, complaining that costs were too high. Well, sure: if you base yourself in one of the most expensive parts of the country, costs will be far too high! Also, as a developer, there's no way I'd want to live in the Bay Area. I'm glad that many peopl…

Those kinds of founders need a dose of reality. That path is usually more like "burn lots of investor cash and your reputation, then fail." For the very few who sort of pull the pump and dump burn to exit thing off there are dozens who just crash.
doesn't seem to happen. people who raise ridiculous amount of money seems to do it again and again and investors are happy to keep shoveling piles of money around. vast amount of money is moved around and evaporated. that kind of money if distributed to single founders who have a working product, generating revenues would have a far more benefit to society and consumers instead of one giant company that bullies it's…

As a Linux user I have never used Evernote, but Google Keep has cross-device persistent notes and I've never had even the tiniest glitch with synchronization.
As a Mac and Windows user I've never used google keep as there is no native app.
Not native, but feels close enough for this type of thing to me.

How much would you be willing to pay for this software? Available on all desktop and mobile platforms, with flawless synchronization and ridiculously good search capabilities?
How much are you asking? Evernote's pricing plans and features work for me, I'm looking for a viable alternative in case it vanishes. Picking up some sarcasm in your comment, could you ask the questions or make the statements you're hinting at and I'll be happy to discuss!
No sarcasm in my statement at all. For the past several years, I've been looking for a personal knowledge management application that would work for me and now I'm seriously thinking about just writing it because I can't find one.
I'll probably write one even if I can't make a business out of it, because I need it. I'm also curious about the business potential and have been asking people in my personal network.
Evernote's pricing seems like a good benchmark - I heard that from several people already.
The Evernote Mac client is the one of the worst piece of software on the Mac platform. I've actually been using a $5 replacement app, Alternate, and moving my Evernote text notes back to nvALT synced through Dropbox. Evernote, please, I do not want: - Work Chat - Headlines from Business Insider - To be CONSTANTLY BUGGED TO UPGRADE That's the biggest thing. I'd love to give Evernote money, if I knew I was going to get…

Maybe for late stage investors, but if you applied that strategy as an early stage consumer investor you would have missed almost much every big hit (FB, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, etc).
Twitter is a dubious hit. It's wildly popular, but its profits are very unimpressive, to say the least.
