I use Evernote to store mostly bookmarks, tag them, sometimes I take a note with it. I'm mostly reliant on the search by tag feature. I use Evernote on multiple devices that sync. What would HN crowd recommend as an Evernote replacement?

I've heard great things about Notion. Nothing beats emacs/org-mode + beorg on iOS for me though. beorg even has scheme-based scripting, although I haven't tried it out yet.
Evernote users are accustomed to more than text files.

I can't even tell whether I should have more than one .org file.
SaaS subscriptions are magical when they work; they provide much needed regularity to cash flow forecasting which assuages investor timidity. However, creating a subscription model doesn’t necessarily mean there is a service that warrants it.

Can you include pictures and audio notes? Does it index those pictures? Evernote users are accustomed to more than text files.
Instead of this 'long and winding road' wry style pr, the reality is EN spectacularly screwed up. They had the world at their feet but got in their own way. I still use it because incredibly there isn't anything better i'm aware of (I tried onenote but didn't like it) but for me EN is a case history of the incompetent side of valley hype
how did they spectacularly screw up? honestly asking.

I stopped using Evernote after they started pushing their "sharing" features in the UI so hard that I struggled to use it to take notes. I just wanted a notepad that synced between devices and they wanted to be something else.
I want Evernote Personal which would be just the core product and a web clipper. The only advanced feature I really would want included is OCR of text in images. Every time I search for something and it finds a snapshot of a whiteboard with that text on it, I get a little thrill.
FWIW, I am on the $35/year plan even though I only use it maybe 10 times per year.

The orgmode hype I still don't get. I code full time in emacs and still don't get it. Maybe because all the use case blog posts I've found can be reduced to "you must discover a user flow for yourself." I can't even tell whether I should have more than one .org file.
How you use it is largely up to you. I usually break things into files when I feel like it's its own high level "thing".
I'd like to leave Evernote (I moved to Linux, which they don't support, and their web app is insufficient). But for me the killer feature is doing OCR on PDFs and images you post and including it in search. I haven't found that elsewhere. Does anyone else do that?
OneNote has this: "OneNote can search typed text, handwritten notes, and words that appear in inserted images." https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Search-for-Notes-in... But it won't help your Linux support issue :(
